My Brilliant Friend: A Novel (Neapolitan Novels, 1)
Description
Now an HBO series: the first volume in the New York Times–bestselling
“enduring masterpiece” about a lifelong friendship between two women from
Naples (The Atlantic). Beginning in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant
neighborhood on the outskirts of Naples, Elena Ferrante’s four-volume story
spans almost sixty years, as its main characters, the fiery and unforgettable
Lila and the bookish narrator, Elena, become women, wives, mothers, and
leaders, all the while maintaining a complex and at times conflicted
friendship. This first novel in the series follows Lila and Elena from their
fateful meeting as ten-year-olds through their school years and adolescence.
Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a
neighborhood, a city, and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in
turn, also transform the relationship between two women. “An intoxicatingly
furious portrait of enmeshed friends.” ―Entertainment Weekly “Spectacular.”
―Maureen Corrigan, NPR’s Fresh Air “Captivating.” ―The New Yorker Read more
