Ferrante: " The Story of the Lost Child"

Not much I can say about this, the last of the four Neapolitan novels of Elena Ferrante, which brings us up to the date at which the first volume starts--when "my brilliant friend" has disappeared, and her son does not know where she is. All I can say is that the magnetic nature of these four novels is sustained until the end, and the four volumes constitute a terrific literary achievement. And great praise and credit must be given to the translator, who has done a superb job.
That's it--read them.
