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

一部注定失敗的劇本。在肯塔基州,年輕的派翠西亞·阿戴爾寫了一部劇本,想保住家族的老宅。靈感來自她曾祖母的情書。

The world of the book

從肯塔基到百老匯。書名中的「藍草」,是肯塔基州草原上的一種草。肯塔基州位於美國南部,以駿馬聞名。女主角派翠西亞·阿戴爾就住在那裡一棟被草地環繞的老磚房裡。紐約的百老匯是劇院林立的大街,有明星、製作人,還有四處尋找角色的女演員。全書在這兩個世界之間來回穿梭。
