Review of My Brilliant Friend

The stories of these girls growing up are both familiar and unfamiliar. Maybe I haven’t experienced what happened to them, but the little thoughts of their girls seem to be the ones we’ve had. Girls feel anxious about their body changes during puberty and share secrets with their friends. Elana has a fatal attraction to the “me” in this book because she has a maverick personality. If she wants to do it, including learning, she can do it well. If she doesn’t want to do it, no one seems to be able to force her. This book is like “Old Gringo” in a way, from the point of view of one’s memory. This book is like “Old Gringo” in a way, from the point of view of one’s memory. The disappearance and concealment of Lila became the beginning of this book, taking us back to their girlhood, an era full of “violence” and “chaos”. Lila’s love of Little Women’s books seems to reflect her character. She emphasises her dignity and standards and changes her life through her own efforts. She does not think that she is unsuitable for her father’s job. She loves making shoes, dares to resist teachers, and expresses her own ideas. Lina stepped forward and put a knife to Marcheno’s neck, starting a friendship between the two girls. This also makes Elena’s feelings for Lina both worshipful and appreciative. Her father would throw her out the window to the point of breaking a bone, and her mother would use physical violence against her. Her life is gray; her father would throw her out of the window to the point of breaking a bone; her mother would use physical violence against her; she married early but also met a violent husband; she is still so strong, she chooses to live alone. Although this book describes the parallel lives of a pair of girlfriends, the energy it brings seems not only to reflect on the life experiences of the two women, but also to arouse the women’s self-awareness. When girls are still young and ignorant, they will criticise people and things around them, especially violence and injustice, and then gradually become the disdainful people they used to be when they grew up. But it also tells us that even if life is unsatisfactory, girls should not give up on themselves, give up hope, and give up their dreams. Lila’s aura was not only alluring, but dangerous. Do you wish you had a friend like Lina by your side? Or do you think you are Lina or Elena?
