Elena Ferrante, My Brilliant Friend, from the Neapolitan Novels 📚 Nomad Biol Club Pick for Italy 🇮🇹

Details

Description

Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels (My Brilliant Friend is the first) is an epic saga of female friendship that follows the lives of two Neapolitan women, Elena and Lila, from childhood through adulthood.

Set against the backdrop of a working-class Naples neighbourhood, the novels explore themes of poverty, violence, education, and the enduring power of female bonds.

I love love LOVE these books. It’s impossible to put them down and Ferrante captures the complex bonds of female friendships and sisterhood so perfectly.
