Set in the late 1960s & the 1970s, Those Who Leave & Those Who Stay continues the story of the feisty & rebellious Lina & her lifelong friend, the brilliant & bookish Elena. Lina, after separating from her husband, is living with her young son in a new neighbourhood of Naples & working at a local factory. Elena has left Naples, earned a degree from an elite college, & published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned & fascinating interlocutors. The era, with its dramatic changes in sexual politics & social costumes, with its seemingly limitless number of new possibilities, is rendered with breathtaking vigour. 

This third Neapolitan Novel is not only a moving story of friendship but also a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world. Since the publication of My Brilliant Friend, the first of the Neapolitan Novels, Elena Ferrante's fame as one of today's most compelling, insightful, & stylish authors has grown. She has gained admirers among authors, artists, & critics. But her most resounding success has undoubtedly been with readers, who have discovered in Ferrante a writer who speaks with great power & beauty of the mysteries of belonging, human relationships, love, family, & friendship.
