July 20, 2026: My Brilliant Friend, Elena Ferrante (331 pages). The first novel in Elena Ferrante’s four-part Neapolitan series, My Brilliant Friend chronicles the complex, decades-long friendship between the narrator Elena (Lenù) and the fiery Lila as they grow up in a poor neighborhood in Naples, Italy, starting in the 1950s. The book explores their diverging paths – Lila's forced departure from school and Elena's pursuit of education – and explores themes of class, gender, violence, and the transformative power of their bond, which is set against the backdrop of a changing Italy.
