LOURDES BOOK CLUB for a book discussion on Saturday, April 2, 2016 at Panera , Emory Village at 7 p.m. for dinner with the discussion to begin at 7:45 p.m. Our book selection is My Brilliant Friend, by author Elena Ferrante. A modern masterpiece from one of Italy’s most acclaimed authors, My Brilliant Friend is a rich, intense, and generous-hearted story about two friends, Elena and Lila. Ferrante’s inimitable style lends itself perfectly to a meticulous por-trait of these two women that is also the story of a nation and a touching med-itation on the nature of friendship.
