My reading of Neapolitan quartet is completely different. It is not Lila’s external looks that make her irresistible, but it’s her spirit - a force of nature that she has. I think the Lenu considers herself better looking than Lila, so it was not so much about a beautiful face and body. Remember it’s “My Brilliant Friend” not “My Beautiful Friend”. Would highly recommend the books to anyone who is still wondering - the torrent of raw humanness coming out from those books is, for a better word, brilliant.
