Summary

In one volume, the New York Times–bestselling epic about hardship and female friendship in postwar Naples that has sold over five million copies.   Beginning with My Brilliant Friend, the four Neapolitan Novels by Elena Ferrante follow Elena and Lila, from their rough-edged upbringing in Naples, Italy, not long after WWII, through the many stages of their lives—and along paths that diverge wildly. Sometimes they are separated by jealousy or hostility or physical distance, but the bond between them is unbreakable, for better or for worse.   This volume includes all four novels: My Brilliant Friend; The Story of a New Name; Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay; and The Story of the Lost Child.   “Imagine if Jane Austen got angry and you’ll have some idea of how explosive these works are.” —The Australian   “Nothing you read about Elena Ferrante’s work prepares you for the ferocity of it.” —The New York Times   “An enduring masterpiece.” —The Atlantic

    Jeannie is in trouble. After the loss of her husband, everyone around her is pressuring her to leave her precious farm, including an incredibly persistent realtor who won’t name her client. But when that realtor ends up dead, killed by mistake when she borrows Jeannie’s car, it becomes clear that her client won’t take no for an answer. Who wants Jeannie’s land so badly that they are willing to kill her for it? And why her farm when there are plenty around her for sale? To find the answer, Jeannie joins forces with off-duty cop Derek and finds refuge with the young back-to-the-land tenants who rent a section of her farm. Set in her ways at 60, Jeannie must learn to open her mind — and her heart — in her quest to find the killer, all while grappling with ghosts from her past and wrestling with the question of land transfer and ownership. Will the next generation love her farm as intensely as she does? And will she survive long enough to find out?

    ~~~~~ PG Excerpt ~~~~~
     
    Marcus taps his foot as he looks around his 18-year old daughter's room.
     
    "You know, I liked the last three things you showed me," he calls to her. "I don't think I need to see anything else."
     
    "Oh, but daddy, this one looks so cute!" Katelyn calls back.
     
    So Marcus, nodding, waits for his daughter to come back out to model more clothes for him.
     
    Katelyn finally comes out and her daddy looks at her in her new clothes.
     
    "What do you think?" she asks, excited. She spins around so he can see all of it.
     
    "Wow," Marcus says, nodding. "You look really good. I mean it."
     
    Katelyn flashes him a bright smile.
     
    "Is this…" Marcus asks, coming forward. Before Katelyn can say anything he's right up next to her, grabbing the material of her shirt, leaning his head down to give it a close inspection.
     
    "There's a hint of blue in here," he declares, and when he straightens up Katelyn is all too aware of how close he is to her.
     
    "Yeah," she says, swallowing. "I, um…I know."
     
    Marcus looks down at his little girl and she looks back up at him.
     
    Marcus can't help but look his daughter up and down. She's got an amazing body, and such an open mind. She smiles when his eyes come back up to hers.
     
    "You know," Marcus says, feeling his shaft stirring in his pants already. "I hope you don't mind me saying, but you would be amazing at sex."
     
    Katelyn pulls in a breath and bites down on her lower lip.
     
    "I wouldn't know," she says. "I'm still a virgin."
     
    "Well then," Marcus says. "We'd better do something to fix that."
     
    Without another word Katelyn wraps her arms around her daddy and plants her lips onto his. He wraps his arms around his little girl, his erection already present. Katelyn moans as she feels it push up against her, and she reaches down to grab it, breathing heavily out through her nose.
