FerranteFever

The Lying Life of Adults | Elena Ferrante

Ferrante is the queen of symbolism, portrayals of inner turmoil, and the complexities of female relationships. Another absorbing triumph.

La Invenci�n Ocasional / Incidental Inventions | Elena Ferrante

pick

Elena Ferrante's reflections on human nature, feminism, and punctuation are invitations for us to look at ourselves and each other in new ways. I already know I'll be returning to this book again and again.

My Brilliant Friend: Neapolitan Novels, Book One | Elena Ferrante

After listening to a recent podcast by @thereadingwomen in which they discuss #ferrantefever: I placed this book on hold at my library, thinking it would be a little while before it came in for me. Well, it came in much earlier than I expected. Now I am juggling an extra book+audio! Library holds are unpredictable beasts + also quite exciting.

👉🏻 I'm seeing mixed reviews for this series out there. Who has read this? Thoughts?

Lacythebookworm I've read the first two and loved them ❤️❤️ 8y

Nat_Reads I read and loved the first two! 8y

mklong Read all four back to back and now I miss Elena and Lila like they are real people who I don't get to see anymore 8y

Lindy I listened to all four in audio. Fabulous! I'm firmly in the "I hate Nino" camp. 8y

Cinfhen Looks like I'm in the minority, while I found the writing gorgeous I wasn't charmed enough to want to continue on with the series. I honestly couldn't care forElena or Lila 8y

thereadingwomen Hope you enjoy! 8y

mrsthilkey I'm almost done with the first book and loving it! I'm not digging the audio though, the way the narrator talks is distracting. I'll get the other books on paper. Can't wait until they are available! 8y

L_auren My entire book club hated the first one; go figure! 8y

Blaire I felt similarly to @Cinfhen, I saw so many people say they couldn't put these down, but while I appreciated the writing, I didn't feel particularly invested in the characters. I liked the second one a bit more than the first, but haven't gone any farther. Left me unexpectedly cold. Wrong book at wrong time? 8y
