Do you need some summer beach reading? The Neapolitan Novels, a four-part series following the decades-long friendship of two women born in 1950s Naples, can take you through the summer months.
My Brilliant Friend, the first book in the series, introduces Elena and Lila, and follows their changing friendship as each girl experiences riches, poverty, political turmoil and motherhood. Once you’re done the first book, check out The Story of a New Name, Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and The Story of a Lost Child.
