The Lying Life Of Adults by Elena Ferrante
A sharp, intimate coming-of-age story set in Naples that follows a young girl's painful passage from childhood into adolescence as she confronts family secrets, social divisions and the contradictory behaviors of the adults around her; provoked by an overheard insult, she becomes obsessed with an estranged aunt who opens a rougher, more candid world and forces the girl to question who she is, whom to trust, and whether the adult life she admires is built on truth or on lies.
