![]() The translation is truly a work of art, in and of itself. This version is translated from the original Italian by translator Ann Goldstein – and damn, she did one hell of a job! She somehow retained the rolling lyricism of the original Italian, with no awkward or stilted language, and not a single hint to the reader that the work was not originally written in English. It follows the lives of Elena Greco (the narrator) and Rafaella “Lila” Cerullo, as they pull themselves up from their humble origins in a poor neighbourhood on the outskirts of Naples. My Brilliant Friend is the first book in the Neapolitan series of novels (published 2012-2015). ![]() ![]() (And you’ll be MY brilliant friend if you make a purchase through an affiliate link on this page – I’ll get a small cut for referring you!) ![]()
