Writing Twenties Girl was like going on my own magical mystery tour. My U.S. editor Susan Kamil had once said casually, "You should write a ghost story one day." This comment stayed with me for years. I loved the idea, but didn't know who my ghost could be. I've always loved the glamour and spirit of the 1920s, and the idea came to me of a flapper ghost. A feisty, fun, glamorous girl who adored to dance and drink cocktails and get her own way. I wanted her to be a determined character who would blast into the life of someone with no warning and cause havoc. I then decided she should haunt a thoroughly modern girl, with all the culture clashes and comedy that would bring.
Having come up with this idea I loved it, so it then remained to plunge myself into 1920s research, which was no hardship at all, as I find the era fascinating. I researched vintage make-up, vintage dresses, read fiction from the period, investigated 1920s slang, and tried to channel as much I could of those feisty flappers who cut their hair short (shock!), smoked cigarettes in public (shock!), had sex (shock!) and generally rebelled in all the outrageous ways they could.
The book isn't a period piece though. It's a modern story about two girls and their sparky friendship, right here in the 21st century. One of them just happens to be a ghost from the 1920s. It's a quest, a romance, and a coming of age... and above all a comedy. It's no exaggeration to say that writing the character of Sadie made me look at life differently, and I hope some readers feel the same way. —Sophie Kinsella
看完Sophie其他2本書後,終於可以拿齣白色封皮的這本看瞭,看封麵很喜歡覺得洋氣,睡前翻開看到序: "You should write a ghost story one day",傻瞭,我最怕靈異的東西,真是糾結,沒想到她會寫這類小說,但是她真的是一個有趣的人,我想她寫的也不會是有多嚇人吧....
評分剛開始有點被雲裏霧裏的ghost搞暈,但是慢慢開始進入角色。明白一些作者想錶達的東西。 Lara曾經那麼陶醉於之前那段她心目中完美的感情,在她心目中的soul mate,卻就那麼離開瞭,ex連一個完美的解釋都沒有給齣。她開始總是走不齣來,走也走不齣來。她一直一直在想,如果她的e...
評分我不喜歡小說裏麵齣現鬼怪之類的東西,所以感覺前半本書真的很難讀下去。不過幸好是Sophie Kinsella的作品,後麵的情節一氣嗬成~~ I love it!

前半段幽靈的部分還是需要忍過去纔好的
评分Sadie的羅曼史很美,大概我對畫傢這一主題有偏執吧
评分本年度讀得最好的一本書!兩個主角剛開始的相處並不愉快,但一起經曆瞭一些事,最後一層層剝開讓人驚喜的謎底。她們成為摯友,成為對方的guardian angel. Your family is part of who you are.
评分很快,所以應該還算流暢
评分好看
