I devoured this novel in two sittings and can confidently say that it will remain one of my favourite books in years to come. This novel got media buzz because a) it is written (allegedly!) by Ferrante’s husband and b) it is translated by renowned writer, Jhumpa Lahiri. However, I will urge you to read this novel for an altogether different reason – it is one of the most captivating books I have ever read and an invigorating, trenchantly observed story of domestic havoc. Each sentence hits the mark and is laced with razor-sharp irony and pungent insight about relationships.
