[quote=Anonymous]Just finished My Brilliant Friend. I really loved how throughout reading the whole book you are thinking that the “brilliant friend” is Lila, but then it turns out it’s Elena. I did enjoy it. Reading it reminded me of another book I read recently that I loved, The Loneliness of Sonia and Sunny, because of the psychological insight into the characters, the way that we see what people are thinking and how it’s just like we think including the things that are not even big deals but thatwe wouldn’t admit to anyway. It sets up a kind of forced empathy in which we are able to feel less alone in the world. I read this book because it’s number one on the NYT list of books of the 21st-century so far. I will admit — that that placement puzzles me. It’s an excellent book. But ahead of The Road? Ahead of Wolf Hall? Etc.? I don’t know. That puzzles me. Good enough that I am immediately turning to the next book in the series though.[/quote]
