My amazing friend

Naples city in the fifties of the last century. Two friends live, Elena and Leila, in a poor working-class neighborhood. They grow up and change, help each other and quarrel, their paths meet and diverge. An amazing journey inside the two heroines leads us there in Viranti. Her insight is sharp, her narration is overwhelming, her description is renewed of our daily life; of a life that needs to be narrated to us by a woman in this wonderful way. The New York Times Book Review perhaps is the best writer the modern novel has known. Her literature is transparent as glass, her stories are primal and deep at the same time. The Economist She, above all, is skilled in creating plots and intrigues. The Independent There is no one who has written about Italy and its feelings, neighborhoods, flavors, and intense emotions like Viranti. Il Manifesto A masterpiece in every sense of the word... I read all the books while immersed; and I was enchanted by it. I only wanted to pursue the lives of Leila and Elena until the end. Jhumpa Lahiri (Pulitzer Prize Winner) Number of pages: 438
