Hi Reader, Recently the New York Times polled 500 literary luminaries on the best books of the 21st century. I SCREAMED upon learning my favorite book of all time was named #1! It's... drumroll... My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante!! It's actually a quartet of four novels about a lifetime of complex friendship between two Italian women -- great for fans of literary fiction, character-driven novels, and the like. Given the renewed interest in these books, I created a reading guide for the My Brilliant Friend book series with tips, reviews, pairings, and more to enhance your reading experience. So, if you want to read the best book of the 21st century (so far), check it out!
Remember, it's a good day to read a book. -Jules |
