Pages de Plage - July Poolside Read

Our July book recommendation is a truly special one, My Brilliant Friend, the first in Elena Ferrante’s powerful four-part Neapolitan series. (so if you like it, you can enjoy 3 more books!) Originally written in Italian and later adapted into the gripping HBO series, this novel follows the lifelong friendship between two women, Elena and Lila, from their childhood in 1950s post-war Naples through decades of challenges, rivalry, and friendship.

Set against the backdrop of a gritty, vibrant Italy, it’s poetic, and raw, perfect for getting lost in, whether you’re on the beach or curled up at home watching the series.

Highly recommend!
