The fourth and final volume of Ferrante’s Neapolitan novels has finally been published in the US. Critic Alix Ohlin call this last novel in the series “richly satisfying.”

“Ferrante’s cast of characters is arrayed across classes, professions and ideologies. Some thrive in the new order, while others suffer. Youthful idealists become politicians; juvenile delinquents become gangsters; corruption passes from one generation to the next. Taken as a whole, the Neapolitan novels illustrate how a society transforms itself on the backs of individuals, many of whom pay dearly for those changes.”
