Fans of Italian writer Elena Ferrante will be thrilled to know that 2020 marks the return of Ferrante Fever. After the last of her four-part bestselling Neapolitan Novels was published in 2014, many have eagerly waited for a new work, having little besides her columns in The Guardian and the HBO adaptation of My Brilliant Friend (pictured) to consume. Her new novel is titled The Lying Life of Adults and has just been published in Italian last month. The English translation will be made available in the first half of 2020. Like My Brilliant Friend and its ilk, this novel centres on a young Neapolitan woman coming to terms with herself, in particular, her less-than-attractive looks.
