Great Literature Discussion – Elena Ferrante: My Brilliant Friend (Online)

My Brilliant Friend is the first of a hugely popular four book series known as the Neapolitan Novels by the Italian Elena Ferrante.

It is a rich, intense and generous hearted story about two friends. Ferrante’s style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship.
