Elena Ferrante's Favourite Books by Women

This list originally appeared in 2020 in The Guardian. Pseudonymous Italian author Elena Ferrante is one of my favourite authors. Her Neapolitan novels have been a significant inspiration for me as I develop my own voice as a writer. I have been gradually reading my way through this list in my search for authors with a similar style and focus as Ferrante.
