Quando comecei a ler, pensei: mas as escritoras italianas agora só sabem escrever sobre a amizade entre duas miúdas e a admiração quase cega que uma tem pela outra?!?
Felizmente, consegui abstrair-me disso. Seja ou não uma história à la Ferrante, A Malnascida é daqueles livros que se leem de um fôlego, fortes, firmes e intensos, com bons diálogos e personagens que têm dentro de si histórias inteiras.

Nu het fascisme overal weer oprukt en er verbijsterend weinig tegen te doen lijkt, kreeg ik trek in een roman die het leven in die tijd beschrijft. En dan doel ik niet op verhalen over de bezetting, de Holocaust of de oorlog maar het gewone leven in een wereld waar fascisten de macht hebben.
