My Brilliant Friend

My Brilliant Friend (The Neapolitan Novels, #1)
Cover retrieved from Goodreads

My Brilliant Friend
Elena Ferrante
Europa Editions: 2011, 331 pages
Reviewed by Sheryl Walters

My Brilliant Friend is a novel translated from Italian.  I found it hard to follow in some parts, but the story line did keep me interested.  It basically interweaves the lives to two girls as they grow up into young women.  It details the paths they take and how each led to a traditional life or something a bit different.  The author did an excellent job showing how girls are friends and yet dislike one another at times.  There are more books in the series and I want to read to find out more about their paths in life.
