Book 0244

This book is everything that I look for in literature – it’s beautifully written; it’s an intimate portrait of female friendship that is incredibly real and made me feel completely connected to the experience; it portraits women’s experience; it’s feminist; it mixes personal stories with political background, and shows how history and society impact our own lives; it’s a fascinating record of Italy in 20th Century; it’s a fantastic summer read; it’s the first book of a tetralogy so after that you can just keep reading; it was a source of endless conversations with my brilliant friends.
