Until two weeks ago, an official WeChat account I had been following just recommended this book. I began to pay attention to this book again and look for resources on the Internet. In a week's reading, I found that this book brought me an unprecedented reading experience, with fluent words, meticulous psychological description and sharp language, which made me deeply addicted.
My talented girlfriend is the first part of Italian writer Elena ferrante's Napoli Tetralogy. Besides, three other books, The Story of a New Name, Zuo Zuo Left and The Missing Child, have not been published in China. The author of this book, Elena ferrante, is the most popular and mysterious Italian writer at present. Her real identity is still a mystery, and many people speculate on his gender, but he has always remained mysterious. This also casts a mysterious color on the whole set of books.
The slogan of this book is: the ugly secret that only women know. Before I saw it, I thought it was about two women's chaotic past, but it wasn't. This book goes deeper. This book is the first in the Napoli Tetralogy. Apart from the 50-year-long relationship between the two heroines Anabel and Elena in the Preachery, the historical entanglements in the southern Italian towns are more profound, showing all classes.
There was a hot movie "July and An Sheng" before, which also talked about the love and hate of two girls, but in "My Genius Girlfriend", there were also two girls who grew up together like July and An Sheng, but "My Genius Girlfriend" showed the true psychology of growing girls more deeply.
The two girls in this book, Anabel, have been arrogant and aloof since childhood. She has a high talent and a strong learning ability, and has always had her own ideas. She showed her uniqueness from an early age. She dares to confront the big boys in the village and is never afraid of the so-called dark forces. Elena is a lovely girl in our general sense. She studies very hard, dare not fall behind in her homework, think grades are very important, and dare not do anything.
At first, I thought Elena had been following Anabel because Anabel's unique temperament attracted her, but with the deepening of the plot, I found that Elena and Anabel were like two twin trees. They are entangled with each other and become better themselves. Just like in the book, Elena always thought that Anabel was strong, but she didn't expect to make Anabel weak, so she surpassed her. Elena always thinks I want to be stronger, so that Anabel can find out and she can sit up and take notice of me. In fact, Anabel has been encouraging Elena. She hopes Elena will get better. She encouraged Elena to study, didn't let her relax, provided her with a place to study with peace of mind and listened to Elena's troubles.
The friendship between them is not the kind where two people stick together and make some comparisons between ordinary girls. They are true soul mates. Everything that happens to them makes them naturally merge with each other. They know everything about each other. They support each other, nourish each other's lives and discover another world from each other. Every time we talk, it's like wandering in each other's spiritual world. They talked about those profound topics and constantly collided with their thoughts.
Their friendship is more like two soldiers, with time, with the environment and with the world. They have cautious secrets among girls, but they also have the cruelty and responsibility of men, forbearance and upward.
I am looking forward to the story in the next book, and I also want to know the story of Anabel and Elena. In fact, we all live in Anabel or Elena, and I believe that through this book, we can all find our own shadow.
