The first in the famous Neapolitan quartet of novels, in My Brilliant Friend we meet Elena and Lila for the first time as they navigate the beginning of their lifelong friendship, the poverty of 1950s Naples, and the inexplicable behaviour of adults. A literary sensation in Italy and throughout the world, Ferrante’s novels not only tell the story of the two girls but also of a neighbourhood, a city and a nation undergoing momentous change.
