Jerry

Jean Webster

Book Overview: 

Jerry is the humorous story of a young man's attempt to win his lady. Jerry is waiting for his friends at a hotel in Italy, and is bored and lonely. When he hears that a beautiful American lady, Constance Wilder, is staying nearby, he tries to visit her. After an awkward first meeting, he tries to catch her attention by pretending to be a peasant tour guide. She recognizes him for what he is, but pretends not to, and a lively charade is carried on as they tease and fall in love. A clean, sweet, funny historical fiction/romance.

But as soon as the young man dipped into his pocket and fished out a handful of silver, they broke into smiles; this at least was intelligible. The silver was distributed, the luggage was hoisted down, the omnibus was dismissed. The courtyard resumed its former quiet; just the American gentleman, Gustavo and the parrot were left.

Then suddenly a frightful suspicion dawned upon Gustavo—it was more than a suspicion; it was an absolute certainty   which in his excitement he had overlooked. . . Read More

بی‌نمک و بی‌سروته، صدای جیغ خواننده‌ی کتاب رو هم اضافه کنم از شنیدنش پشیمونم.

با توقع خییییلی کم سمتش برید که از داستان ساده و طنزش لذت ببرید

كلي ريويو تايپ كردم پريد!
ريويو كه نه!
يه قسمتي از كتاب رو تايپ كرده بودم!

فقط اينكه؛ اين رمان هر چند از «وقتي پتي به دانشكده ميرفت» به نظرم خيلي بهتر بود، اما به هر حال رمان ساده ايه... از اول هم كه شروع به خوندنش كردم ميدونستم. اما كلا احساس ميكردم به يه همچين فضايي با همه سادگيش نياز دارم.

Jerry (Junior) is a wealthy upper-class American, a handsome young man whiling away several days in an Italian village, waiting for his sister and aunt to arrive. H

يك داستان خوب/معمولى كه قسمت عشقيش با حقه بازى و نقش بازى كردن تركيب شده ، نقطه ى قوتش هم طولانى نبودنشه .
