neopolitan quartet
as good as they say. Ferrante has a way of illustrating how people actually are in real life that is so subtle and almost painful in its accuracy. also slightly related: it gives me so much hope that her translator, Ann Goldstein, acquired Italian as a second language, how cool is that

“I imagine most novel-lovers have probably already taken a crack at Ferrante. But it's always a good time to spend 3 months reading (or rereading) the epic of Lila and Lenu.”

“i'm not trying to be dramatic but these books made me feel grateful to know how to read. the greatest novels of our generation, in my personal opinion: a complete, robust, vivid epic; a deeply felt, nuanced, and real portrait of two women and the complexities of female friendship, with a huge cast of characters that are all three-dimensional and distinct. such a feat to make all of this legible in”
Ariana
“A forever favorite that I wish I could read again for the first time.”
