Первый из четырех романов уже ставшего культовым во всем мире "неаполитанского цикла" Элены Ферранте — это история двух подруг, Лену и Лилы, живущих в 50-е годы в одном из бедных кварталов Неаполя. Их детство и юность проходят на суровых улицах, где девочки учатся во всех обстоятельствах полагаться только друг на друга. Идут годы. Пути Лену и Лилы то расходятся, то сходятся вновь, но они остаются лучшими подругами — такими, когда жизнь одной отражается и преломляется в судьбе другой.

Прекрасный мир, где же ты (2021) — третья книга молодой ирландской писательницы Салли Руни, которую критики называют "голосом поколения миллениалов". Первая — "Разговоры с друзьями" (2017) и вторая — "Нормальные люди" (2018) — имели, без преувеличения, феноменальный успех как у читателей, так и у литературных критиков. Элис, Феликс, Айлин и Саймон находятся в поисках любви перед лицом крайне неопределенного будущего — их собственного и всего человечества.

Действие третьей части неаполитанского квартета, уже названного "лучшей литературной эпопеей современности", происходит в конце 1960-х и в 1970-е годы. История дружбы Лену Греко и Лилы Черулло продолжается на бурном историческом фоне: студенческие протесты, уличные столкновения, растущее профсоюзное движение... Лила после расставания с мужем переехала с маленьким сыном в район новостроек и работает на колбасном заводе. Лену уехала из Неаполя, окончила элитный колледж, опубликовала книгу, готовится выйти замуж и стать членом влиятельного семейства.

Вторая часть завоевавшего всемирную популярность четырехтомного "неаполитанского квартета" продолжает историю Лену Греко и Лилы Черулло. Подруги взрослеют, их жизненные пути неумолимо расходятся. Они по-прежнему стремятся вырваться из убогости и нищеты неаполитанских окраин, но каждая выбирает свою дорогу. Импульсивная Лила становится синьорой Карраччи; богатство и новое имя заставляют ее отречься от той себя, какой она была еще вчера, оставить в прошлом дерзкую талантливую девчонку, подававшую большие надежды. Лену же продолжает учиться, стремясь доказать самой себе, что может добиться успеха и без своей гениальной подруги.

История о пропавшем ребенке — четвертая, заключительная часть захватывающей, ставшей для многих читателей потрясением эпопеи о двух подругах: тихой умнице Лену и своенравной талантливой Лиле. Время идет — у каждой из них семья, дети, престарелые родители, любовники... однако самым постоянным, что было в жизни Лену и Лилы, остается их дружба. Обе героини приложили немало усилий, пытаясь вырваться из бедного неаполитанского квартала, в котором выросли, — царства косности, жестокости и суровых табу.
