About My Brilliant Friend
My Brilliant Friend is told from the point of view of Elena Greco, who grows up in a poor neighbourhood of Naples. Her best friend is the intelligent and ambitious Lila, who is forced to find an outlet for her brilliance in her father’s shoe shop when she is denied the opportunity to continue her education. The bond between the two girls remains strong in spite of the tensions resulting from Elena’s schooling and Lila’s early marriage, and each continues to measure herself against the other. The novel has received extensive critical acclaim and sold over ten million copies in 40 countries to date. It is the first instalment of Ferrante’s four-novel Neapolitan series, which traces the lives of Elena and Lila until Lila’s unexplained disappearance when they are both in their sixties.
