Europa Editions Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay

The third volume now in paperback, and the story of Lila and Elena continues. In the 1960s, Lila is living with her young son in Naples, working at a local factory. Elena has left the city, and published a novel, all of which has opened the doors to a world of learned and fascinating interlocutors. A moving story of friendship and a searing portrait of a rapidly changing world.
