Sono riuscito a scrivere male il cognome dell'autrice 😣 Non dovrei usare il telefono quando ho sonno 😴

Very convincing, as reminiscing as it can be of "L'amica geniale" series that I read last year. The reel of emotions, high and low, the teenager protagonist goes through is both familiar to me and firmly foreign - because it is centered on female bodies and experiences of trauma. Naples is the permanent background, even though it's mostly in a dualistic perspective of rich versus poor parts of the city. I'm so happy that there are more books by Elena Ferrante I yet have to read. (I was going to write something totally different in Italian, but out of respect for the nice people here I forced myself to write in English.. the short comment above is not bad, just different from what I had in mind)

Una denuncia feroce, umana, precisa di chi ha scelto di mandare a morire una valle intera con i suoi abitanti. Un documento storico importantissimo che ripete in modo innegabile chi sono stati e chi sono i maledetti infami di cui l'Italia deve liberarsi ancora oggi.
