La vida mentidera dels adults

"Two years before he left home, my father told my mother that I was very ugly". Thus begins this extraordinary novel about the discovery of lies, love and sex, narrated by the unforgettable voice of Giovanna, a young woman determined to meet her Aunt Vittoria, incomprehensibly erased from conversations and photo albums. With this, she unknowingly unleashes the collapse of her intellectual and bourgeois family, perfect only in appearance. Absolute master of intrigue, Ferrante sows the plot of surprises and prodigiously knots the mysterious family and love story around a bracelet that is passed from hand to hand. No one like her to describe the complexity of human passions and all the intermittences of thought and heart.
