Status Updates From La ricreazione è finita

463 pages in! Italian! This is only my second full-length Italian novel having stuck to more digestible novellas and essay collections so far. And it only took me about three weeks (an improvement after the poor Ferrante book I dragged out over the best part of a year).

I am SO SO chuffed with this - and what's more, it's an abdolutely incredible book. 5 star material.
