One sentence synopsis... An overheard conversation between her parents triggers a chain of events in the angsty adolescence of Ferrante's latest troubled, selfish, insecure female protagonist.

Read it if you like... the Neapolitan novels. This is her first stand alone since the wildly successful series ended and although it doesn't have the same scope it helps fill the empty void.

Dream casting... Gaia Girace is the obvious pick for rebellious teenager Giovanna.
