The mystery Ferrante
The saga of Elena Ferrante has become a true phenomenon in Italy and around the world, selling several million copies since the release of The Girlfriend Prodigious , the first book, in 2011. In 2018, HBO has even co-produced and broadcast an adaptation in eight episodes of the novels on friendship and turbulent between two young Neapolitan.

The only information the press has been able to glean about it are quite scarce. It seems that this is a woman, she had children and that there is a part of autobiography in his novels. A discretion which has without doubt contributed to its success and that the players respect.
