Una tragedia familiar se convierte en un reencuentro entre Delia, la protagonista de esta historia, y la ciudad de Nápoles..., y la infancia que con tanto empeño intentó olvidar. Una joya de la literatura contemporánea de la gran Elena Ferrante.

Una mañana una mujer mayor aparece ahogada en el mar, vestida solo con un sujetador de encaje. Será Delia, su hija, quien tendrá que reconstruir la vieja historia que se esconde tras lo sucedido. En una frenética búsqueda que se debate entre la realidad y las tortuosas vías de la memoria, Delia recorre de nuevo Nápoles, su ciudad natal, reviviendo un pasado que se propuso olvidar, pero vuelve y duele.

En una primera novela que fue aclamada por el público y la crítica, Elena Ferrante nos atrapa entre calles hostiles y sofocantes, que huelen a café, a sudor, a momentos en que una mentira bien contada cambió el sentido de la vida de esa mujer que ahorasolo ha dejado una prenda de encaje como testimonio de su rencor. Dalia piensa, recuerda, busca, sabiendo muy bien que hay lazos entre madres e hijas que ni siquiera la muerte puede romper.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Set in Naples, Italy, this debut novel by New York Times bestselling author Elena Ferrante (My Brilliant Friend, The Days of Abandonment) tells a story about mothers and daughters and the complicated knot of lies, emotions, and shared history than binds them.

Following her mother's untimely and mysterious death, Delia embarks on a voyage of discovery through the chaotic, suffocating streets of her native Naples in search of the truth about her family. A series of mysterious telephone calls leads her to compelling and disturbing revelations about her mother's final days.

As the New York Times wrote about this novel, "the raging, torrential voice of the author is something rare." Troubling Love is indeed a rare look into the abiding preoccupations and obsessions that bring millions of readers all over the world to her fiction.
