Hi everyone, I'm choosing one book as a gift for someone who loved Elena Ferrante (especially the Neapolitan novels). I'm looking for a similar emotional and literary core.
These are the final contenders after researching online
- Quaderno proibito (Forbidden Notebook) – Alba de Céspedes
- Lessico famigliare (Family Lexicon) – Natalia Ginzburg
- Az ajtó (The Door) – Magda Szabó
- Nada (Nada) – Carmen Laforet
- The Bell Jar – Sylvia Plath
If you had to choose one of these for a Ferrante reader, which would you pick? Any other suggestions?
