Armina Sinani’s Reviews > L'amica geniale > Status Update

I’m so deeply captivated by the depth and breadth of emotions captured in this book. Friendship, tradition, culture, history, rivalry, childhood & adolescence, gender roles & social class. Naples in the 60s, the influence of the monarchy, Fascism, machismo in the south of Italy. All through the eyes of a girl.

Page-turner. Hadn’t read anything in Italian in maybe ten years. Feels like I’m in the streets of Naples myself.
