Pseudonymous author Elena Ferrante has written four mega-popular Neapolitan novels that explore the complicated intensity of female friendship.

The story goes on to cover more than 60 years of their lives as Elena tries to describe the mystery of Lila. TV-MA Air Date: Feb 6, 2022 See TV Season Details
