The friendship of these two main characters is very complex because Elena Ferrante doesn't shy away from portraying reality in her fiction, showing how the female mind works. /3
Don't expect anything less than experiencing strong emotions while reading this book. Lenu and Lila can be terrible to each other and, at the same time, have a very strong friendship. /4
Seeing the complexity of this friendship is what makes this story brilliant and far from obvious. /5
Furthermore, understanding the historical context of Naples in the 1950s is very interesting, so if you enjoy politics, you'll also love this saga. /6
In a few words, I would say that "My Brilliant Friend" is for people who enjoy being entertained by the complexity of human relationships depicted in a raw manner. It's like a real-life story. /7
Finally, I would like to say that Elena Ferrante's writing is amazing, and an interesting fact about the author is that her name is a pseudonym, and no one really knows who she is. /8
After reading the Neapolitan tetralogy, I continued to read two more of her books because I became so passionate about her writing. /9
"My Brilliant Friend" is the first book in Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan tetralogy.The story is narrated by one of the main characters,Lenu.Through her, we are transported to Naples inthe1950s and fllow the story of her friendship wit Lila./2
