Os sentimentos conflitantes entre a Lenu e a Lila são muito comoventes. As duas não sabem, mas elas são as pessoas mais importantes da vida uma da outra e o amor e o ressentimento que as duas sentem uma pela outra é muito humano. Elas são pessoas reais pra mim e eu pude sentir e viver tudo que elas sentiram e viveram ao longo da história. A gente passa o livro inteiro pensando: “Se elas conseguissem ser honestas uma com a outra, tudo seria tão melhor”, mas a vida e o mundo que elas estão inseridas leva elas para caminhos diferentes como uma maré, que te puxa pro mar aberto. Eu gostei muito desse livro e quero ler os próximos logo, já sei que estou diante de uma grande história.

O natură frustă a vieții mărunte din Italia anilor ‘50. Cartea dă dovadă de o simplitate și naturalețe a tehnicii narative, încât te captivează cu ușurință.
Dar oare chiar să fie vorba de o prietenie îndelungată sau mai degrabă de o cursă continuă de a demonstra altcuiva că ești mai bun?

I cannot believe Marcelo wore the original shoes Lila made by hand!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To her wedding! Hate him, stefano, and nino too.
Such a realistic relationship between Lila and Elena though, loved that

It is beautifully written but this book is just not for me. It’s incredibly slow and nothing much happens, I didn’t engage with the characters so it was a bit of a slog to get through.
