Readers originally encountered Elena and Lila in My Brilliant Friend, and now these two girls are ladies in this third Neapolitan book. Lila fled her violent spouse at the age of sixteen, got married at sixteen, and has a little boy. She now works as a common labourer. Elena moved out of the neighbourhood, went to college, and wrote a popular book. These accomplishments have allowed her to enter a world of sophisticated conversations and elegantly decorated salons. Both women have defied the restrictions that would have kept them imprisoned and forced to lead miserable, ignorant, and submissive lives. They are adrift in the vast ocean of possibilities that the 1970s brought forth. However, they remain inextricably linked to one another by a powerful, unbreakable relationship.
