A review by cabeswaters
My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

reflective medium-paced

4.75

When school started again, on the one hand I suffered because I knew I wouldn’t have time for Lila anymore, on the other I hoped to detach myself from that sum of the misdeeds and compliances and cowardly acts of the people we knew, whom we loved, whom we carried—she, Pasquale, Rino, I, all of us—in our blood.

genuinely fantastic. me when the acclaimed novel that everyone says is good turns out to be good.
