《失踪的孩子》是“那不勒斯四部曲”的第四部，小说聚焦了莉拉和埃莱娜（“我”）的壮年和晚年，为她们持续了五十多年的友谊划上了一个令人心碎的句号。

“我”为了爱情和写作，离开丈夫带着两个女儿回到了那不勒斯，不可避免地与莉拉，还有我曾想要逃离的城区再度变得亲密。“我”和莉拉甚至在同一年怀孕、生子，并经历了恐怖残暴的那不勒斯大地震，一切都分崩离析，一切又将被重建。

“我”在不自觉中卷入莉拉秘密的企图——她希望利用我的名声和写作技巧来对抗城区陈腐而猖獗的恶势力。但在经历了生命最恐怖的打击之后，莉拉选择以一种怪异夸张的方式在城区彻底将自己流放。

而“我”也将以惊人的韧性和诚实面对写作、爱情、家庭的失败。在经历了多年的自我怀疑之后，“我”决定忤逆（罔顾？）莉拉的告诫，将“我”和她一生的友谊写成一本小说，却招来了最深的背叛……

《离开的，留下的》 是埃莱娜·费兰特的“那不勒斯四部曲”的第三部，聚焦“我”（埃莱娜）和莉拉躁动、紧密相依的中年。
“我”在未婚夫彼得罗一家人的帮助下，出版了第一本小说，享受着成功的喜悦，而留在那不勒斯的莉拉却身陷贫困而卑贱的工厂生活。“我”像个骑士一样，再度介入莉拉的生活，并动用丈夫一家人的关系，让莉拉和恩佐的生活有了转机——他们成了那不勒斯地区最早学习、掌握计算机技术的人，他们顽强、坚韧的学习能力让他们开始积累了巨大的财富。
我和莉拉之间再次胜负难辨。婚后的“我”开始面临自己的创作危机，而平静的、中产阶级式的婚姻也令“我”疲惫不堪。对社会变革颇为冷淡的彼得罗希望“我”放弃作家的身份，而“我”在扮演“母亲”、“妻子”这些角色时，总是避免不了内心的分裂、紧张。
莉拉对“我”的新作品的指责更是让我产生彻底的自我怀疑：我接受的教育和拥有的知识是否只是让我的作品徒有其表，没有真正的思想，也永远无法拥有莉拉近乎粗野的表达中那些令人不安的真相。直到有一天，“我”丈夫突然将尼诺带回了家……
