Hi All

Look forward to seeing you all at my house tonight (30 Carters lane, Seville) to review My Brilliant Friend.

Here are a couple of questions to prompt discussion tonight.

• What did you think of the girls relationship?  Could you identify something similar from your own childhood?
• Can friendships that are seemly so one sided last beyond puberty. 
• Nature or nurture?  How much are the girls a product of their environment ?  What of their adult 'role models'?  
• Did you find the style difficult?  The novel was translated from Italian to English do you think this impacted its readability?
• Do you get a sense of the violence of the neighborhood, of its inhabitants? Do you think it was a sign the times (50/60's) or a cultural thing?

See you at 7.30pm.
