ディミティおばさま現わる by Nancy Atherton

"読むまではコージーミステリーと思ってたけど、ハートウォーミングなファンタジーみたいでした。
ディミティおばさまの遺言に従ってイギリスに足を運ぶロリを様々な出会いや冒険が待ってま..." "どう表現してよいのかわかりませんが、なんとも言えない違和感が最初からありました。
具体性に欠けているというか、展開が無理筋というか .." "最初は不幸なヒロインのように思いましたが、最後には幸せになって。白馬の王子様。よい響きですね .." "幼い頃から母が語ってくれた物語の主人公”ディミティおばさま”が実は実在する人物で、そのおばさまの遺言により、物語の序文を書きつ ..." "This was an interesting mystery - there is no death, well, not a death to be "solved" anyway. There was a death in the beginning, but that actually just spurs the main character into making a journey. The journey is one of self-discovery, healing, and romance" "What a charming book! Lori Shepherd learned that a woman she thought of as a fictional character was real, had passed away, and had left her a cottage in England" 등 외국독자들의 반응은 다양하게 나타난다. 큰 감동을 주는 작품은 아니지만 무난한 문장에 백마탄기사나 신데렐라적 로맨스를 좋아하는 사람들 ... 추리적 요소가 첨가된 모험소설을 좋아하는 독자들은 읽어볼 만하다. 이 책은 일본어로 번역된 시리즈물이다. 읽기에는 영어원서가 더 좋을 거 같다. 핵심어는 inheritance, fortune, bonanza, travel, fable, rabbit, the war, courage, hatred, misconception, forgiving, ghost, matchmaking, knight, healing 등이다.
