Picks off straight after season one, with Lila (Gaia Girace) realising her marriage is a disaster, being raped on the wedding night (in the Grand Hotel Vittoria Excelsior, no less!). Loved the shot of monstrous husband Giovanni Amura through the frosted glass of the bathroom. Lenu (Margherita Mazzucco) seems to be engaged to the wrong man, should be with college left wing dissident Nino.
Don't understand Lila's behaviour at all e.g. after Lenu's teacher's party, when her behaviour is utterly vile. And did she really kiss Nino (Franceso Serpico) in the sea? Yes, she did, seems to have a self-destructive nature - not a nice character.
Whilst her life seems to unravel, Lenu finally starts making progress, attending University in Pisa and meeting the son of a publisher who wants to publish her book.
Other writers are Elena Ferrante, Francesco Piccolo and Laura Paolucci. Music Max Richter, photography Helene Louvart (Rocks, The Lost Daughter) & Fabio Cianchetti, editors Carlotta Cristiani, Francesca Calvelli.
