Book Travel Series
Before a trip, I love to set the mood by reading books about the area I’m going to visit. For me, I love learning about the history of what I’m going to see and I find I get so much more out of my travels if I know a bit about the culture of the place beforehand.
I recently went to Naples, Italy, and reread Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Novels in the weeks leading up to the trip. My excitement built through every page as I knew that finishing each chapter meant I was that much closer to my holiday.
If you’re heading to Naples to soak in the energy of the city, savor world-famous pizza, and explore its vibrant streets, these novels are the perfect reading companion.
Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan Quartet:
*My Brilliant Friend,
*The Story of a New Name,
*Those Who Leave and Those Who Stay, and
*The Story of the Lost Child
These books capture the essence of Naples, its passions, its complexities, and its unforgettable characters. My Brilliant Friend is one of my top 25 books of all time, and these novels will transport you straight into the heart of the city, letting you experience its layers through the eyes of Ferrante’s unforgettable heroines.
No need to worry if you didn’t pack them—because they sell English copies right at the Naples airport bookstore! So grab your slice of pizza, pick up your book, and let the magic of Naples—and Ferrante’s world—enfold you.
Have an incredible trip, and remember, the right book can make any place feel even more alive!
