Résumé de l'éditeur:

Naples, fin des années cinquante. Deux amies, Elena et Lila, vivent dans un quartier défavorisé de la ville, leurs familles sont pauvres et, bien qu'elles soient douées pour les études, ce n'est pas la voie qui leur est promise. Lila, la surdouée, abandonne rapidement l'école pour travailler avec son père et son frère dans leur échoppe de cordonnier. En revanche, Elena est soutenue par son institutrice, qui pousse ses parents à l'envoyer au collège puis, plus tard, au lycée, comme les enfants des Carracci et des Sarratore, des familles plus aisées qui peuvent se le permettre.

Durant cette période, les deux jeunes filles se transforment physiquement et psychologiquement, s'entraident ou s'en prennent l'une à l'autre. Leurs chemins parfois se croisent et d'autres fois s'écartent, avec pour toile de fond une Naples sombre mais en ébullition, violente et dure. Des chemins qui les conduiront, après le passage par l'adolescence, à l'aube de l'âge adulte, non sans ruptures ni souffrances.

Formidable voyage dans Naples et dans l'Italie du boom économique, L'amie prodigieuse trace le portrait de deux héroïnes inoubliables, qu'Elena Ferrante traque avec passion et tendresse jusqu'au plus profond de leur âme.

Publisher's Summary:

Kid Centrifuge is a rock band with dreams no bigger than other rock bands: ho-hum, tour and get signed and be famous and change the universe. Alas, unlike their rock-music forebears, our heroes live in a world that has largely moved on to techno, dance and pop. Yes, the music industry is still littered with double-crossers and backbiters, but now they're looking for DJs, and maybe guitar champions need no longer apply. So the kids tilt against the same old windmills musicians have battled forever, but with a suspicion that the same old animating dream - all you need is a guitar and a great song and you'll make a million bucks - is dead.

That gives their grass-roots aspirations more than a little desperation, and bad decisions ensue.

War On Sound gets inside its four featured musicians - Amanda, the singer; Sebastian, the guitarist; Kate, the drummer; and Scott, the bass player and angsty piloting force - the way Don DeLillo did in Great Jones Street and Roddy Doyle did in The Commitments. These talented kids wage war, blinkers in place, faith challenged...they have big success and big failure, and they keep playing. War on Sound is by turns hilarious and profound, and illuminates the contemporary music scene better than any recent novel.

Critic Reviews:

[An] original slant on a classic story. Within the classic framework, Livesey molds a thoroughly modern character who learns to expect the best of herself and to forgive the missteps of others. The author has a gift for creating atmosphere. (Library Journal)

The talented Livesey updates Jane Eyretaking care to home in on the elements of this classic story that so resonate with readers. Despite readers familiarity with the story line, they will be held rapt. A sure bet for both book clubs and Bronte fans. (Booklist)

[A] brilliantly paced contemporary adventure (Elle)
