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

一部注定要失败的剧本。在肯塔基州,年轻的帕特丽夏·阿代尔写了一部剧本,想保住家族的老宅。灵感来自她曾祖母的情书。

The world of the book

从肯塔基到百老汇。书名中的“蓝草”,是肯塔基州草原上的一种草。肯塔基州位于美国南部,以骏马闻名。女主人公帕特丽夏·阿代尔就住在那里一座被草地环绕的老砖房里。纽约的百老汇是剧院林立的大街,有明星、制作人,还有四处寻找角色的女演员。全书在这两个世界之间来回穿梭。
