ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONChronicles of Heartbreak compiles the three novels that have made Elena Ferrante one of the most prestigious voices in contemporary Italian literature. El amor molesto / An Upset Love, the first installment, narrates the relationship between Delia and her mother Amelia. My mother drowned the evening of May 23rd, the day of my birthday is how the first page begins. From then on, the reader sets to find out who Amelia was.
The second volume, Los días del abandon / The Days of Abandonment, tells the story of a young mother of two who is suddenly abandoned by her partner and has to face her new reality. Alone in Turin, she descends into a devastating emptiness; she feels a pain and anguish that Ferrante in able to make her readers feel.
La hija oscura / The Dark Daughter is the last of the trilogy, here we find Leda who feels free in a little beach town, until her chance meeting with a peculiar family forced her to analize the relationship she's had with her daughters and find out what are the ties that bind them. Once again, what would seem to be a very stale and unoriginal theme, becomes a weapon in the hands of Ferrante.
