.....and sadly my journey with Elena and Lila came to the end, with this fourth and last instalment of Neapolitan quartet. From the book one to book four, not only that you follow two friends from childhood to old age, you also learn about people of that era and witness Napoli's socioeconomic condition too. There is no way that these books are pure fiction. So many details, so many events and so many colourful characters are testimony of somebody (author most likely), who was born and lived in that society. Go ahead and read these 4 volumes with 4 established theme: volume one:development of resentment and friendship in childhood volume two: limitations of social boundaries volume three: compromises and confinements of marriage and volume four: establishment of regrets in old age. And don't rush it.....savour it slowly .....
