Earlier this summer we hosted three sold-out sessions of our seminar series ‘Our Brilliant Friends’, focusing on the Neapolitan Novels written by Elena Ferrante and translated by Ann Goldstein. Held at Tills Bookshop, we gathered to discuss how these novels have shaped our lives.

We had our last session of the Translation Table last night and we are so thankful for what has been a wonderful community of readers, writers, and translators! 💫
Our final book of the series was ‘On a Woman’s Madness’, by Astrid Roemer and translated by Lucy Scott.
