When your #brilliantfriend has a brilliant river with a brilliant platypus by which to read books 😀. We have 36 years of friendship and have known each other since childhood, as have Lila and Elena, but there is also a third friend to our circle. So far, thankfully, our story is quite different ... #favouritefriendships #favoritefriendships #booktober #ferrantefever #ferranteforever
Most anticipated reads: 2 memoirs, a Ferrante, and a fantasy my friends insist non-fantasy readers like:Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (has anyone read it?). Most anticipated eats: Belgian chocolate 😀😍#Booktober #mostantcipatedreads #Ferrantefever #Ferranteforever #Chocoholic
pickThis was my first Ferrante ❤️. Olga is unflinchingly raw and honest in examining her thoughts and emotions as she ricochets through turmoil when her husband leaves her; her sense of abandonment of her sanity and her identity, as she is left to care for her two young children, is brutal. I wouldn't want to endlessly dissect my characters in interviews if I was Ferrante, everything is already said. #translatedbooks - Thanks Ann Goldstein.
