Product Description

Product Description

Four sisters, each with their own particular hopes, ambitions and dreams, are living with their actress mother in London. As they listen to her learning her lines for her new play, LITTLE WOMEN, they realise the strong parallels between the sisters in the classic novel, and their own lives. Their father, too, is away from home - in the States trying to make it as an actor, and the sisters miss him dreadfully. Together, using all their individual talents, they devise a plan to try and reunite their parents. A hearwarming, funny and lively family story which, although it has parallels with LITTLE WOMEN, quickly establishes its own very contemporary voice.


From the Back Cover

"People always fall out after they're married. I'm going to stay single."

Laurel, Jasmine, Rose and Daisy: four very different sisters, four very different attitudes! If living with each other is difficult enough, living with their parents is even worse - especially as they're both actors.

But then comes the Great Row and Dad leaves home. Suddenly the sisters have an even greater goal - to reunite their stubborn parents. But is this the impossible dream? --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read!, 4 Jul 2001
This review is from: Family Fan Club (Hardcover)
I enjoyed this book. It's like it says on the cover - a "Little Women" for today! It stars four sisters. There's Laurel (who is the equivalent of Little Women's Meg) Jazz (Jo) Daisy (Beth) and Rose (Amy). Laurel's the oldest, the one who's obsessed with fashion. Then there's Jazz, the heroine of the story, who wants to be an actress. Daisy, the little, innocent one who everyone loves. And the youngest is Rose - and she's the one part of the book I don't like. In Little Women, the youngest sister, Amy, was slightly stuck-up and self-absorbed, but a loveable character really. She might have burnt her sister's most cherished item, but she was sorry, and if you saw it from her point of view you could feel sorry for her too. Rose is nothing like that. She's clever, annoying and thinks she's better than everyone else. She ruins everything, but you don't feel any sympathy to her in the way she acts. I didn't like her, and I felt I was supposed to. I think it's important to like all the main characters. But apart from that, it's a great book! The story is similar to that of Little Women, but not identical. The girls' mother is an actress, and is finding it hard to find work. She's split up from her husband, also an actor, who Jazz and co. don't see very often. The book is basically about the girls' attempts to get their parents back together. It's not Jean Ure's best, and it's not as good as Little Women, but it's very good and definitely worth a read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good read., 29 April 2008
This review is from: Family Fan Club (Paperback)
This Jean Ure book is a really good read. It is about four girls: Laurel, Jasmine, Rose and Daisy. Their parents are actors, but they have broken up and the girls want to get their parents back together again. It is funny, exciting and one of those books you do not want to put down, until you have finished it.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good read, 30 Dec 2005
By bookworm (Somewhere over the rainbow) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Family Fan Club (Paperback)
This is a very good book by a great author. It's about something that a lot of children have to go through, parents divorsing. The girlS' mum is an actress and their dad is an actor. They break up after an argument. I think that this book is a must-read for Jean Ure fan's. So why only four stars? Because i think that the plot is slightly predictable in parts. However, i still think it's a very good book.
