This series is astonishing and is so deeply different and more disturbingly realistic than any other book I’ve ever read. Not realistic in that I relate to all the evil, but realistic in how each moment is described, how emotions and decisions flow into one another, how motivation is constructed within each person’s mind, and how life flows from dullness to shock and back and forth. i feel crazy

4.0

This book was much more political than its predecessors, which I liked because it reflects a change in awareness of the protagonist as she matures. However, I give it 4 stars because I think I enjoyed it less than the previous two books in the series and I think this is because the tone is very similar for the whole book. Also, I felt the situation with Elisa was quite plot-driven and this was very noticeable as it stands out against the character-driven nature of the rest of the book.
Also, I felt I got less of a sense of place in this book, and although it was probably deliberate, as Elena feels less at home in Florence as a city as she does not leave the house as much, it still made me enjoy the book less.

As usual, I like Ferrante's style and tiny bits of humour she uses to lighten the often heavy atmosphere.
