Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

In the late 1960s, Lina is living with her young son in a new neighbourhood of Naples and working at a local factory. Elena has left the city, earned a degree and published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned and fascinating interlocutors. A moving story of friendship and a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world. Now in paperback, the story of feisty Lila and her friend Elena continues.
