Elena Ferrante: The Lost Daughter

Leda ​is a middle-aged divorcée devoted to her work as an English teacher and to her two children.

I felt for the first time, like a fist in my chest, that I needed something else, but I felt uneasy saying it to myself, it seemed to me that such thoughts were not appropriate for my situation, for the ambitions of a reasonable and educated woman.
