Book summary

In Kentucky, young Patricia Adair has to save Rosemeade, the family home where her grandfather lives. She writes a play based on her great-grandmother's love letters. In New York, the producer Godfrey Vandeford buys it without reading it. He is even counting on the play failing, to teach the star of his shows a lesson.

But Patricia arrives on Broadway full of confidence, and nothing goes as planned. A love story full of humour and high spirits, between the meadows of Kentucky and the wings of the theatre.

Its lively, light tone makes it an enjoyable read in the language you are learning.

The plot

실패하라고 사들인 희곡. 켄터키에 사는 젊은 퍼트리샤 어데어는 집안의 저택을 지키려고 희곡을 쓴다. 증조할머니의 연애편지에서 영감을 얻었다.

The world of the book

켄터키에서 브로드웨이로. 제목의 ‘블루그래스’는 켄터키 초원에 자라는 풀이다. 켄터키는 말로 유명한 미국 남부의 주다. 여주인공 퍼트리샤 어데어는 그곳에서 목초지에 둘러싸인 오래된 벽돌집에 산다. 뉴욕의 브로드웨이는 극장들이 늘어선 큰 거리로, 스타와 제작자, 배역을 찾는 여배우들이 모여든다. 소설은 이 두 세계를 오간다.
