I read 'My Brilliant Friend', the first of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan novels, a few years ago, but to tell the truth I wasn't totally enamoured.
I found it over-written and felt that it may have lost something in translation.
However, when the HBO co-production came on television recently, I just loved it. I've started reading the second book and am quite enjoying it.
Reading used to be a big passion for me and I'm trying to get back to it after being distracted by social media in recent years.
