The saga My Brilliant Friend continues, the story of the friendship between two women that spans the most important years of the 20th century. A MEMORABLE SAGA «Ferrante is a born storyteller, as extraordinary and addictive as my beloved John Irving, a classic writer in the wonderful sense of the word.» «She showed me that I hadn't won anything, simply because in this world of ours there was nothing to win... and what was truly worthwhile was to see each other from time to time so that the crazy sound of our minds would bounce off one another without stopping.» «She» is a beautiful, wild woman, and her name is Lila. She is the same girl we met in My Brilliant Friend, the first volume of this splendid saga, and now, having just turned sixteen, she has married a man she despises. The other, who listens to her, follows her and, unintentionally, imitates her, is Lenù, a brilliant student, determined to learn from books everything that Lila learns from life itself. Thus, in this rebound of sensations, a very peculiar friendship develops, a relationship where complicity is law. A single glance from Lila is enough for Lenù to understand what is really happening in her friend's bedroom. A smile is enough to discover what is hidden behind those expensive dresses that fit Lila's body like a glove and provoke the men of the neighborhood. A gesture is enough for Lenù to know that Lila is going to do something crazy and no one will be able to stop her. Naples, the city that has seen them grow up, is the setting for this comedy that has the force of a drama and will remain among us as one of the masterpieces of 21st-century literature. Reviews from authors, press, and celebrities praising Elena Ferrante's work: «Elena Ferrante's novels have kept me tied to my armchair, reading and celebrating pages where emotion is never trivial: the pain and joy of feeling alive are there for the reader to make their own, and everything that is said is necessary, with not a single adjective extra or missing.» «The wonderful thing about the Ferrante enigma is that we can focus solely on her works.» «I love Lenù so much... I cried reading her.» «I read the Neapolitan Quartet when they came out and I remember waiting for the third and fourth to be translated into English and rushing to the bookstore to buy them as soon as they were available.» «Whenever I enjoy a book, I give it as a gift, and now I would choose one of Elena Ferrante's novels.» «With her writing, she strips the skin off routine.» «Elena Ferrante has written an epic love story, destined to be one of the great works of Western literature.» «Ferrante's female characters are true works of art.» «I know I'm late to the party... but this book is incredible!» |
