My Name is Memory

Ma première s'appelle Carmen. Elle est brune et trouve ses fesses un peu grosses. Très attachée aux gens qu'elle aime, elle se montre parfois d'une franchise désarmante. Elle a aussi un énorme problème avec son père... Ma deuxième s'appelle Tibby. Elle ne fait pas son âge, ne s'habille pas très fille. Et si elle joue les rebelles, c'est pour mieux masquer sa grande sensibilité. Une rencontre inattendue va bouleverser sa vie... Ma troisième s'appelle Bridget. Elle est blonde, sexy, sportive, volontaire, mais au fond si vulnérable. Quand elle veut quelque chose, elle l'obtient. Surtout s'il s'agit d'un garçon. Au risque d'aller trop loin... Ma quatrième s'appelle Lena. Elle est brune, superbe. Timide et farouche, elle refuse souvent d'écouter ce que lui dit son coeur. Mais le soleil de Grèce va réveiller en elle des sentiments inconnus... Mon cinquième est un jean. Symbole de leur amitié, il va passer de fille en fille. Il les accompagnera le temps d'un été, un été qui changera leurs vies pour toujours. Mon tout est un roman drôle, sensible, intelligent, où se mêlent subtilement les voix de quatre adolescentes qui rient, souffrent parfois, grandissent et nous séduisent.

Quatre filles et un jean

Quattro amiche e un paio di jeans

"Tibby, Lena, Carmen, and Bridget have grown up, starting their lives on their own. And though the jeans they shared are long gone, the sisterhood is everlasting. Despite having jobs and men that they love, each knows that something is missing- the closeness that once sustained them. Carmen is a successful actress in New York, engaged to be married, but misses her friends. Lena finds solace in her art, teaching in Rhode Island, but still thinks of Kostos and the road she didn't take. Bridget lives with her long-time boyfriend, Eric, in San Francisco, and though a part of her wants to settle down, a bigger part can't seem to shed her old restlessness. Then Tibby reaches out to bridge the distance, sending the others plane tickets for a reunion that they all breathlessly await. And indeed, it will change their lives forever-but in ways that none of them could ever have expected. As moving and life-changing as an encounter with long-lost best friends, Sisterhood Everlasting is a powerful story about growing up, losing your way, and finding the courage to create a new one."

Forever In Blue

Carmen, Tibby, Lena and Bridget have been best friends all their lives. They live in the same small American town and usually spend every moment of their long summer holidays together. The year they turn 16 is the first time they have separate plans for the summer but the girls are determined to keep in touch. Tibby buys a pair of jeans in a second-hand shop and the girls discover that the trousers magically fit each of them perfectly, despite their different figures and heights. They hit upon a wonderful plan of sharing the jeans throughout the vacation - sending them on to the next friend when they feel the time is right. From Baja California to Greece, from film-making to football, the girls - and the traveling pants - encounter first love, family upset and fatal illness. Secure in the knowledge that their friendship is constant - and the symbol of it need never be more than a parcel-delivery away - the girls survive their summer and return home with a wealth of new experiences to share. A perfect teen-chick summer read; a quirky, humorous and memorable cut above the rest.

"Dieser Sommer sollte ein ganz ruhiger werden. Bis auf Tibby, die an einem College in Virginia einem Filmkurs machte, wollten wir eigentlich zu Hause bleiben. Wir -- das sind sie vier besten Freundinnen, die man sich überhaupt vorstellen kann. Unser ganzes Leben haben wir schon zusammen verbracht. Wieso sollte das also in diesem Sommer nicht auch so sein? Doch kaum brachen die Ferien an, kam alles ganz anders als erwartet. Bridget reiste überstürzt nach Alabama, und das war erst der Anfang eines ganz schön ereignisreichen Sommers"--P. [4] of cover.
