A woman goes home to Naples after her motherโs mysterious death in a โtour de forceโ (Seattle Times) by the New York Times bestselling author of My Brilliant Friend.
Following her motherโs untimely and unexplained drowning, which was preceded by a series of strange phone calls, forty-five-year-old Delia leaves Rome and embarks on a voyage of discovery through the beguiling yet often hostile streets of her native Naples. She is searching for the truth about her family and the men in her motherโs life, past and present, including an abusive husband.
What Delia discovers will be more unsettling than she imagines, but will also reveal truths about herself, in this psychological mystery marked by โtactile, beautifully restrained proseโ (Publishers Weekly) about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies and emotions that binds them.
Elena Ferrante, author of The Days of Abandonment, Troubling Love, and My Brilliant Friend, among others, is one of Italyโs most important and acclaimed contemporary writers. She was named one of the 100 Most Influential People of 2016 by Time.
