My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante
A modern masterpiece – this spellbinding novel is a work of heart as well as head, of fascinating and moving characters as well as exceptional writing. At its centre, it is the story of two young friends growing up in a small town, near Naples. But it has a plot that reels you in and holds you captive, while the lyricism of Ferrante’s sentences work their magic.
