The girl with borrowed wings





この町で12年来の知り合いのお嬢さんがペンギンから、本を出版。
今は、パリで、次の作品にとりかかっている。
作家の名前は、Rinsai Rossetti

昨日、読み終わったのだけれど、
書いた本人を知っているというのは、不思議な感じ。
本のなかに主人公の父親がでてくるのだけど、
ついついRinsaiの父親とだぶってしまう。

本の結末は、なるほどーと思わせるものがあってテイーンの本とはいえ、
いままでにない新しい発想で、映画の話があったのは、
なるほどなと思わせた。


My friend's daughter's first book has been published. 
Her name is Rinsai Rosetti and she is still 21 years old.
She lives in Paris and is, at the moment, writing another book. 

The book is for teenagers, but I enjoyed it very much.
But it is very strange for me to read a book and I've known the author for almost 12 years. In the book, when she has a conversation with her father, all I can imagine is the real her talking with her real father. I just find it strange. 
She joined our Al Ain Art Club for a while last year.
She showed her talent in art.

I can't wait to see her next book on display in the bookshops. :)

  1. Hi Midori. I find it strange to read my nephew's writing, too. He is 19, and wants to be a writer.
    I love your blue mosque painting.

  2. Hi Studio at the Farm,
    Wow that is great!
    There are so many talented young people these days.
    Because of the computer generation,they must be much more mature than my generation and must have lots of chances to show their talents.

  3. Hello Midori:) If they can make a book, why would you could not make a book of HaniHani?
    Your paintings are lovely again. I can't make a choise between them. On second thought it might be the second painting! Beautiful done:)
