Spurred by a series of anonymous phone calls, Delia reconstructs her mother’s final days and with every new discovery must face the possibility that her mother was not at all the person Delia believed her to be. To learn the truth and to untangle the knot of lies, passions and memories that bind mother and daughter, Delia must return to the Naples of her childhood.

Look, i enjoyed elena ferrante's neapolitan novels a whole lot but her other works dont seem to match up to it. Her work is complex and always has meanings behind her stories but perhaps they're not for me.
