I‘ve also finished the Neapel saga by #ElenaFerrante this week! Phew. This series also took me a while. What helped is that the series got better and better, with the last one being a triumphant and emotional finale. After reading 5 of her books, I am now officially a Ferrante fan.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️,5 /5

Third book of the #NeapolitanianQuartet is done ✔️! It‘s neither very dramatic nor full of action, but you really get to follow these two women through every stage of their life, both with good & bad decisions, and I really love it.

#ElenaFerrante

I have finished 2 / 4 of the Neapolitan Quartet by #ElenaFerrante and I really like it. I like that the narrative clearly takes its time and that we get to know our two main characters, Lenu & Lila, very intimately. Yesterday, book 3 & 4 arrived, so I‘m fully stacked now!

Happy Easter 🐣🐰 to all fellow #Littens! Did the Easter bunny bring you something special?

I got lots of chocolate, a new pillow for my sofa 🛋 and #MyBrilliantFriend by #ElenaFerrante. I heard so much praise for it! 📕

I read this because I‘m getting #MyBrilliantFriend for Easter 🐣 and Olivia Coleman can do no wrong.

I didn‘t expect it to be so dark! It‘s about a mother who left her children for 3 years, used that time to really become a person again and doesn‘t regret it. This topic is still a big taboo, so I‘m glad it was used here.

11-22-20: My 96th finished book of 2020! The friendship of Lila and Elena continues in book 3 of the series amid marriages, love, death, children, politics and jealousies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thosewholeaveandthosewhostay #elenaferrante 👍🏼📖#️⃣9️⃣6️⃣

This is number 3 in the series. I read the first two back to back, but now had a big gap before reading this one. I enjoyed hearing how things are going to Elena and Lina. Also all the other characters. You learn a lot about the politics in Italy at that time, which I knew next to nothing! #bookcover #elenaferrante

I liked “My Brilliant Friend” a lot. I loved this second installment in the series and can‘t wait to find out what happens to Lenù next. #audiobook #elenaferrante #neopolitannovels #thestoryofanewname
