Ferrante's "Neapolitan Novels," also known as "My Brilliant Friend," is a four-book series that has become an international bestseller and was adapted into a TV series.
The author published her first book, "Troubling Love," in 1992. But she found worldwide success with the "Neapolitan Novels," the first of which came out in 2012.
In late 2016, Italian investigative journalist Claudio Gatti claimed to have unmasked Ferrante as Anita Raja, an Italian translator of German literature, but this was never confirmed.
