Den italienske forfatter insisterer på at forblive anonym og lade sine bøger tale for sig selv
Hvem Elena Ferrante egentlig er, ved kun hendes italienske forlægger. Forfatternavnet er et pseudonym for en italiensk kvinde fra Napoli-egnen, som kun nødigt udtaler sig uden for sine bøger og kun på skrift. Det har dog på ingen måde forhindret hendes Napoli-tetralogi om de to piger Elena og Lila i på ganske få år at vinde et stort publikum i hele verden med sin medrivende fortælling om de to kvinders liv, fra de mødes i skolen, til de bliver gamle. Over fire bøger følger man dem blive gift, blive skilt, få succesfulde karrierer og gå i hundene, altsammen på baggrund af en by, der kæmper med sig selv.
