Hi, Megin, I loved Ferrante's books and read them a couple of years ago. I found the early scene in Normal People, when the main male character (I have since given the book away) doesn't do anything when his friend assaults the main female character, unforgivable. I didn't think it was ever properly addressed.

I enjoyed reading about the other books. I seldom read nonfiction, because I love escaping into other worlds.

Love that you reread Ferrante! I've been thinking of doing that since I watched the brilliant HBO series and remembering how much I loved her words.
