My Brilliant Friend
July Book Selection--Discussion Monday, July 18, 2016
"A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors,
My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story
about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable 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."
