My Brilliant Friend @ Professor Java's

We're reading My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante Thursday, May 8th at Professor Java’s. Let the barista know to put your order on the Book Club tab and please send me the estimated cost via cash or Venmo (@LeScriz) so I can settle up at the end of our meeting.

A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous portrait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching meditation on the nature of friendship. Through the lives of these two women, Ferrante tells the story of a neighbourhood, a city and a country as it is transformed in ways that, in turn, also transform the relationship between her two protagonists.
