A deluxe cloth hardcover with sprayed edges and coloured end papers illustrating the Bay of Naples available while stocks last

When Elena Ferrante set out to write the story of Elena and Lila, she conceived it as one single work of fiction, one expansive novel that would capture the reality and ambivalence of female friendship, motherhood, marriage, class and adolescence.

2025 marks 10 years since publication of the quartet, known as the ‘Neapolitan Quartet’, was completed. To celebrate this anniversary, as well as honour and acknowledge the author’s original conception, this release contains the four novels in one stunning volume.
