«Ella» es una mujer hermosa, alocada, y su nombre es Lila. Es la misma niña que conocimos en La amiga estupenda, el primer tomo de esta espléndida saga y ahora, recién cumplidos los dieciséis años, acaba de casarse con un hombre al que desprecia. La otra, que la escucha, la sigue y sin querer la imita, es Lenù, una alumna brillante, empeñada en aprender de los libros todo aquello que Lila aprende de la vida a secas.

Acerca de la primera y única edición, hasta este momento, de Celia en la revolución dice Andrés Trapiello en su prólogo: "lo que sucedió con (este) libro fue misteriosísimo, un caso único. Apenas publicado, desapareció de las librerías y únicamente en el mercado de viejo ha ido apareciendo desde entonces, con cuentagotas, algún que otro ejemplar, siempre a precios fabulosos, de todo punto infrecuentes en un libro reciente, lo que habla de su carácter excepcional".

Con La amiga estupenda, Elena Ferrante inaugura una saga deslumbrante que tiene como telón de fondo la ciudad de Nápoles a mediados del siglo pasado y como protagonistas a Lenù y Lila, dos jóvenes mujeres que están aprendiendo a gobernar su vida en un entorno donde la astucia, antes que la inteligencia, es el ingrediente de todas las salsas.

Érase una vez dos niñas, Elena y Lila, que nacieron en 1944 en un barrio pobre de la ciudad de Nápoles, y desde entonces su historia ha sido el hilo conductor de esta espléndida saga napolitana que ahora llega a su tercera entrega.

Con ello desencadenará sin saberlo el desmoronamiento de su familia intelectual y burguesa, perfecta solo en apariencia.
