The novel concludes with Lila’s wedding to Stefano Carracci, a local grocer. Lila agrees to the marriage believing it will help her family and allow her to continue her shoe design dreams with her brother. However, the ending is tragic: on her wedding day, Lila discovers that Stefano has betrayed her ideals by partnering with the violent Solara brothers. Meanwhile, Elena, witnessing her friend’s entrapment in the neighborhood, realizes that she must continue her studies to escape, effectively marking the beginning of her own adult life.

For much of the first novel, Lenù believes Lila is the "brilliant" one—a self-taught prodigy with a fierce, untamable intellect.
