" Sarah, Plain and Tall " written by Patricia MacLachlan.




Sarah, Plain and Tall (Sarah, Plain and Tall Saga #1)
Introduction

Caleb and Anna live on a lonely farm. Their Mama died when Caleb
was born,but Anna can remember how Mama and Papa used to sing.
Now there's no singing in the house. But Papa puts an advertisement
for a wife in the paper,and one spring,Sarah,plain and tall,arrives and
there's singing in the house once more.

 I couldn't help myself flowing of tears down my cheeks. This story is short
and easy to read though, Because of that, I could understand the feeling of
each character, Children, the elder sister Anna and the younger brother Caleb
who had lost their mother , wish Sarah would be their mother and their father
also wishes Sarah would be his wife. Especially, I could see the feeling of Anna
and Culeb.

 As I read this story, I felt symphathy how lonely they had been since their
mother had passed away. I would love and hold them tight in my arms lik their
mother.

 At the end of this story,  Sarah missed her home by the sea and would go back
to her home to bring the seeds of flower called nasturtium. I also brought the tubers
of daffodil from my aunt and the seeds of morning glories from my father in my
home town and planted them in my tiny garden.

 Seeing those flowers in each season in every year, I would remember their faces
and my hometown. I really do understand Sarah's feeling.

 norako, Thank you so much for introducing me such a lovely story.
I appriciate your kindness. 




This story reminds me the story " Little House On The Prairie" and
The song " Over the rainbow" of the film " The wizard of OZ".
Both stories were on the prairie of America.
Please enjoy this song! Click it!

mokoさん、はじめまして!
時を同じく私も同じ本を読み終えました。
何度か読み直したいと思うほど、素敵な本でした。

Little house booksも大好きな本なので、いつか全巻、原書で読みたいと思っています。

Hello sora,
Welcome to my site.

soraさん 本当に記事のタイミングが
ピッタリあいましたね!
以前はそんなに英語の本を読むことは
なかったのですが、最近ブログを始めて
色々な人に刺激されながら読書を続けて
います。難しい本を読めるようになりたい
思いが強かったのですが、この本のように
短くて比較的読みやすい本から、こんなに
深い感動をさせられることもあるんですね。
あらためて読書の楽しさを感じました。

"Little Town On The Prairie" の途中で
この本を読んでしまったのでこれからまた
その続きを読みます。
Let's enjoy English more!

See you again.

Hello, MOKO.
I’m glad that you like it!
The author can describe the characters’ feelings very well.
I think Sarah and Laura were in the same age.
Is it true?
I also would like to read Laura’s stories someday!

Hi norako,
I'm so happy to meet such a
lovely story!
Yes, the author,Patricia describes
the feeling of each character so well.
I was touched and moved a lot.

Laura was born in 1867. I'm sorry
I don't know when Sarah was born but
the atomosphere of their lives on the
prairie is similor. Maybe they're
almost in the same generation.

I'm sure you'll be able to read Laura's
stories in the near future.
See you.

Lauraの方は知っていましたが、Sarahのお話も作者自身の体験がベースだったのですね。
sora

Sarah のお話はシリーズになっているので、
他の作品も読めば、作者とSarahの関係が
わかるのでは・・と思います。
Thanks for your comments.
Have a nice week!

Hi! I've ordered "Little House on the Prairie" through the Internet. I look forward to reading it. And this book,"Sarah, Plain and Tall" sounds very interesting, too.
Oh, I've got to place an additional order(笑)。Sarah is seira:pronunciation, isn't it? I have to be very careful about it, too(笑). Thank you so much for introducing many lovely books!
