It’s time to <\/span>delete<\/span> the <\/span>trilogy<\/span> of\u00a0My Brilliant Friend<\/span><\/span><\/span>,\u00a0from the list of books to read, if <\/span>there\u2019s anyone that hasn\u2019t done yet<\/span>!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>I give you<\/span> three good reasons:<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

01. It’s the right time<\/span><\/span>.
\nSince it was FINALLY broken <\/span>the<\/span> anonymity on the identity of the writer you can read the story <\/span>in peace<\/span>. As if knowing that Elena Ferrante is Anita Raja (there\u2019s still no confirmation) can add or subtract beauty to reading, <\/span>help you to better clear up<\/span> the two <\/span>iconic characters<\/span> \u2013 Lila and Len\u00f9, <\/span>know if<\/span> there\u2019s life on Mars, discover the third secret of Fatima, who on and so forth. <\/span>Guys<\/span>, especially<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0zero\u00a0spoiler<\/span><\/span>!<\/p>\n

02. It’s the story of a true friendship<\/span><\/span>.
\nLila Cerullo ed Elena Greco abitano in un rione miserabile della Napoli degli anni ’50, dove la loro complessa amicizia cresce, le porter\u00e0 ad allontanarsi e a rincontrarsi. Saranno capaci di provare buoni e cattivi sentimenti e proprio questi ultimi le renderanno umane, due di noi. L’autrice ce le descrive con audacia, senza farci cadere in pregiudizi o preferenze tra le due; sarebbe troppo facile patteggiare per l’una o per l’altra. In questa storia nessuna trionfa: Lila e Len\u00f9 rimarranno amiche anche quando le ferite che si infliggeranno sembrano irreparabili e il lettore assiste a tutto ci\u00f2 da un posto privilegiato, il flusso di pensieri di Elena, l’io narrante. Sono amiche e nemiche, donne che sapranno trarre forza l’una dall’altra, talvolta saccheggiandosi a vicenda sentimenti, forze e amori.<\/p>\n

03.\u00a0You <\/span>will look friendship with new eyes, even given it a renewed sense<\/span>.<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/span>
\nThis story leaves you a certain indulgence. After exclamations like “but how can these two be friends ?!”, “after this definitely <\/span>they won\u2019t be talking to each other!”, it<\/span> comes the <\/span>awareness<\/span> that maybe <\/span>nowadays<\/span> we ask Friendship – to call it that – only the best, we choose to grant only the “good time”, as if in a <\/span>friendship<\/span> disagreements can only be irreparable, cracks <\/span>in<\/span> a vase – called friendship – that <\/span>mak<\/span>e it less reliable, less strong. <\/span>But<\/span> Elena, in the narration of four novels, <\/span>can\u2019t<\/span> stop talking about Lila, even when she hurts her, to tell her triumphs, which make her <\/span>feeling<\/span> envious, because it seems clear that to tell her life story is <\/span>equally<\/span> necessary to talk about her.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s a friendship in which you can be reflected: it could be able to make you feel ashamed, to make you feel beautiful, to hurt you but also to make you feel alive because despite everything, the person who knows how to see the best of you is your brilliant friend.<\/span>
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Time of the reading:<\/span><\/span>
\nfour weeks,\u00a0one for each novel<\/span><\/i><\/strong><\/p>\n
