Okay I am hooked. Two girls growing up in the poor neighboorhood of Naples. They push and pull, they support each other, they compete and hurt each other, and always always influence each other. My only complaint: Why couldn't Ferrante publish all 4 books all at once, make one giant 1400 page mammoth with tiny fonts and super-thin translucent pages. It would feel more like the epic I am sure it's going to be.
