It’s so cool that you have chosen to sort of dissect Ferrante.. in my 2022 faves, my brilliant friend was #2.. and one thing I noted was that it changed my life. I spoke about her characters transcending race and how there is a sisterhood among women and the experiences we have and go through. Ferrante does an amazing job of portraying the internal struggles and mindset shifts from adolescence to adulthood.
I could have said so much more but was conscience of the video length and keeping it succinct for anyone that hasn't read her work and wanted the main points.
Having recently returned from Napoli, I was compelled to reread The Neapolitan Novels having previously read each as the English translations came out. This time, I completely immersed myself by reading them as one 1,680 page novel. Extraordinary! I’m currently following up by watching the series.
Wow, this was so well done. You did such a good job distilling the essence of each book and your thoughts on each of them. What an accomplishment to complete all her work!
This was so lovely to watch. I’ve only read the quartet plus lost daughter and days of abandonment and all of them have blown me away. The Brilliant Friend HBO series has also been a recent love. Inspired by you to read the rest of her canon ❤❤❤
Been so excited for this video! You did such an amazing job, truly fantastic! I'm reading Incidental Inventions throughout 2023 to allow myself to really sit with each piece week by week. If you had to choose a favorite from the quartet, which would you pick?
Aww yay! That means a lot Katie. I wish I had read that article slowly so I hope you enjoy that process. If you're making me choose I think I loved The Story of a New Name the most because of their time on Ischia, closely followed by The Story of the Lost Child.
Wow, this was so helpful! I've considered getting into Ferrante since watching The Lost Daughter movie and this might actually encourage me to pick one up!
Perfect timing. Thanks for this now. I wanted to read her books this year. This is my sign to finally dip my toes into Ferrante's world. Which editions would you prefer for the neopolitan novels?
Loved this video! I'm looking forward to including more Ferrante in my reading this year. Though since I've already read The Lost Daughter, I'm not sure I'll love any of her others as much.
loved this video -- what a project! I've not read all of Ferrante (and probably won't? who knows), but I suspect I'd rank Lost Daughter top as well based on what I have read.

this is my sign to FINALLY read Ferrante. thank you for this lovely breakdown of her work ✨💛
I could have so much more, but hoping this was enough to entice more people to read her. 💜

Thanks Reba, can I call you that? It was fun to create this video and I have ideas for this years reading project.
@@r.enee.morris you can absolutely call me Reba! Looking forward to hearing about your new challenge.

Have also read all Ferrante. You look so pretty and love your experience of Ferrante. My favorite is the Neapolitan quartet.
Thank you, so happy to find other Ferrante fans. 💜
Loved this video🙂
Thank you 💜

The book is a must if you loved the film. Thank you 💜

Thank you 💜 Honestly they are all hideous but I love a French flap so the older Europa ones are nice to read.
Loved this video! I'm looking forward to including more Ferrante in my reading this year. Though since I've already read The Lost Daughter, I'm not sure I'll love any of her others as much.
I'm so happy to have read her, The Lost Daughter is pretty special try the quartet or Days of Abandonment next.
@@r.enee.morris the quartet was what I was planning so I was glad to see how close it came to being number 1 for you
So inspired by this video. I've only read The Lost Daughter but absolutely adored it and have been wanting to read more. This is my sign!!!
Enjoy your Ferrante journey
I love when you speak about Ferrante. Makes me keen to tackle some of her work soon.
Was wondering what you thought of the movie The Lost Daughter?
I loved the film, I though Maggie did an excellent job and Olivia Coleman was fantastic.
The orange peel visually was perfection.
@@r.enee.morris YES! It's become just one of my favourite movies. One I think about often.
As soon as I saw Ferrante I clicked! I’ve only read Days of Abandonment, and the first two Neapolitan novels.
Don’t be nervous! Your amazing.
Thank you so much for your lovely comments Jade 💜
lovely video, Renée 😁 looking forward to a possible cusk ranking next year? :) hehe
Working on it, almost finished first Cusk of the year.
loved this video -- what a project! I've not read all of Ferrante (and probably won't? who knows), but I suspect I'd rank Lost Daughter top as well based on what I have read.
You would like Frantumaglia as I know you enjoy writers talking about writing, the way she talks through the lost daughter is great
@@r.enee.morris yes, that's def in my list of books to get to at some point!
Loved this video so much! I read The Lost Daughter earlier this month and I was suprised for the better, you've made me want to read more by her 🤍
Thank you. It’s definitely a surprising (in a good way) book. 💜
love
💜
Taste!!!
she was actually outed a while ago. Some nosy journalist decided to disrespect her privacy.
WHAT!?!? Noooooo. I imagined her going to the grave unknown.
