My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

A monthly book discussion group.

Discuss My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante.
Beginning in the 1950s Elena and Lila grow up in Naples, Italy, mirroring two different aspects of their nation. In this first volume in the Neapolitan series, the story of a lifelong friendship is told with unmatched honesty. Lila and Elena clash, drift apart, reconcile and clash again, in the process revealing new facets of their friendship. Ferrante begins the rich, intense and generous-hearted portrait of two friends, and through their lives she tells the story of a neighborhood, a city and a country undergoing momentous change.
