Description

In a vibrant and evocative graphic novel adaptation, the story unfolds in a richly illustrated landscape that captures the essence of a deep, transformative friendship. Set in the bustling streets of Naples, this version breathes new life into the intricate relationship between two young girls, immersed in the complexities of their lives as they navigate childhood, adolescence, and their evolving identities against the backdrop of post-war Italy.

The stunning artwork draws readers into a world brimming with emotional depth and authenticity, allowing them to experience the joys, struggles, and rivalries that define their bond. This poignant portrayal serves not only as a visual feast but also as a profound exploration of loyalty, ambition, and the tumultuous journey of growing up. As layers of friendship and rivalry are peeled back, the narrative reflects the enduring impact of relationships that shape and sustain us through life's challenges.

This was so slow. I was bored most of the way through. It's well-written, but nothing happens really. Sometimes that works well. Sometimes you're happy to just follow characters around and let them do whatever they're doing because you want to hang out with them. I didn't want to hang out with any of these people. There is an alarming amount of information/discussion about shoes, some about school and classes, and a frenemy relationship between the two main characters, but I wasn't particularly interested in any of it. To be honest, I should have DNFed this. At least it goes off my eternal TBR list, though.
