Episode 30-My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

from Reads and Weeds · host Reads and Weeds

Kris is back! and Jewlee!(NEW TO THE CREW-YAY) with Shelly to discuss the first book in the Neapolitan series by Elena Ferrante. Long time coming to get this scheduled and worth it because of the honest gritty truth and beauty of this one. We love Elena. We want to smoke with her and ask a million questions. And what better way to discuss this story of two girls becoming lifelong friends that share hardships and fears and a love of learning and have dreams of writing than with lifelong friends who share a love of learning and writing. Listen to the Max Richter music from the HBO series made from this book! So lovely. Also Kris wrote a kick ass essay about this one. Check it out in our blog.
