Description

The story of Elena and Lila begins in the 1950s in a poor but vibrant neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples. They learn to rely on each other and discover that their destinies are bound up in the intensity of their relationship. Elena Ferrante's piercingly honest portrait of two girls' path into womanhood is also the story of a nation and a meditation on the nature of friendship itself. My Brilliant Friend is a modern masterpiece, the work of one of Italy's great storytellers.

Reviews

STAFF REVIEW

The Neapolitan Novels are one of my favourite series!

Following the lives of two girls growing up in Naples, Italy in the 1950s, the reader is privy to their friendship, rivalries and secrets. Ferrante's writing is so authentic and intimate, you feel like you are friends with Elena and Lila. What a rich, powerful and immersive story!
