"My Brilliant Friend"

This brilliant book takes place in a rough suburb of Napoli in the early sixties. It's told through the voice of a young girl who really resonated with me. She's super sensitive and has a close bond with another girl her age. This book tells her story from roughly age 10 through 15. As I was nearing the end of the book I realized this is the first of four books. How wonderful is that? I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the books. Unfortunately, there are a ton of holds at the library. I just may have to buy these books on-line!
