Over twee vriendinnen ( )
  huizenga | Nov 5, 2018 |
Als Mary und Dottie sich 1953 kennenlernen, sind beide 8 Jahre alt. Eine Tüte Süßes und die Frage „Wollen wir beste Freundinnen sein?“ bringen die beiden zusammen und sie sind überzeugt, dass nichts sie jemals auseinanderbringen kann. Als sie 17 sind, arbeiten sie zusammen und sind immer noch beste Freundinnen. Sie treffen Elton und Ralph wieder, die sie schon seit der Schule kennen, und verlieben sich in die Jungs. Doch dann ist da der eine Abend, der alles verändert.
Diese Geschichte über eine ganz besondere Freundschaft ist sehr berührend. Mary und Dottie sind nur wenig älter als ich und daher kann ich mich gut in sie hineinversetzen. In den 60ziger Jahren tickten die Uhren noch anders. Das Leben war nicht so hektisch wie heute und es gab eine Menge Regeln für junge Mädchen. Es ist also einiges sehr authentisch dargestellt, über das man heute die Augen verdrehen würde.
Die Geschichte wird uns aus der Perspektive von Dottie erzählt und gelegentlich von Marys Tagebucheinträgen unterbrochen.
Mary Pickles ist der draufgängerische Typ, der die zurückhaltendere Dottie Perks einfach mitreißt. Obwohl die Mädchen so unterschiedlich sind, fühlen sie sich miteinander wohl. Als sie Jugendliche sind, arbeiten sie zwar zusammen bei Woollies, haben aber unterschiedliche Träume für die Zukunft. Dottie will in Brighton bleiben und eine Familie haben, während Mary von einer Karriere als Künstlerin in Paris träumt. Mary verliebt sich unsterblich in Elton, der sie zwar mag und mit ihr ausgeht, aber ganz andere Pläne für die Zukunft hat als mit Mary eine feste Beziehung zu haben. Ralph Bennett und Dottie sind ebenfalls verliebt und man spürt, dass die beiden zusammengehören. Auch wenn ich mich viel besser in Dottie hineinfühlen konnte, so mochte ich doch beide – Dottie und Mary.
Doch dann kommt besagter Abend und alles verändert sich. Nun muss sich beweisen, wie tief die Freundschaft zwischen den jungen Frauen ist. Es dauert eine Weile, doch dann besinnt sich Dottie auf ihre Freundschaft, sie ist für Mary da und unterstützt sie. Mir war sie manchmal schon fast zu selbstlos.
Das Ende dieser Geschichte ist sehr traurig und dennoch gefällt es mir gut.
Ich kann dieses wundervolle und sehr berührendes Buch nur empfehlen. ( )

Dottie Perks is a "chubby" introvert who is happy with the simpler things in life while Mary Pickles is a confident little extrovert who cannot wait to travel the world and become an artist. Although they are both completely different people they have been best friends since the first time they met when they were eight-years-old. The simplicity of their childhood of penny candies and carefree playing dissolves into a more complicated time of family, first loves, betrayal and forgiveness.

The characters and setting are vivid and wonderful. It started off as such a cozy read. I loved it. But I began to lose interest as things began to change. ( )

Thank you to NetGalley and Bookouture for allowing me access to this book.
The main focus of this wonderful book is the friendship between Dottie Perks and Mary Pickles who meet when they are eight years old and become instant friends. The story follows the two from the start of their friendship thru the years as they experience the carefree days of life and school to meeting boys and falling in love and more. This book is wonderfully nostalgic and the British terms used were a fun park of this book. It is beautifully written and I loved it. ( )

The Girls from See Saw Lane by Sandy Taylor is a British novel about friendship. Mary Pickles and Dottie Perks live in Brighton and are best friends. They have been friends since the moment they met when they were eight years old. Mary and Dottie are usually seen together with little Mary leading the way (by little I mean she is short). After graduating from school (what we call high school) the girls are working at Woolworth’s (they call is Woolies). Dottie works behind the cosmetic counter and Mary behind the candy counter (she is too short for cosmetics—no one can see her behind the displays). They are seventeen years old with their whole lives ahead of them. They are into make-up, movies, records, and, of course, boys. Dottie wants nothing more than to meet the right man, get married, and have children. Dottie wants to stay in Brighton where she grew up. Mary is artistic and wishes to go to L’ Institut d’Art in Paris (even though there is an art school in Brighton). Mary wishes to travel and has grand plans. Will their dreams come true? What happens when men into their lives? Come along to see what happens to The Girls from See Saw Lane.

The Girls from See Saw Lane is told from Dottie’s point-of-view with diary entries from Mary. It is a simply told story and reminds of book I read when I was twelve/thirteen (we did not have a young adult room when I was young. So I meandered over to the adult room to find new books to read). It reminds me of books from the fifties. There is friendship, romance, and tragedy in The Girls from See Saw Lane. It is a lovely story and a nice change of pace. Since it is a British novel, there are many words that are unfamiliar or different. Most of them are easy to figure out except for the food and drink. I give The Girls from See Saw Lane 4 out of 5 stars. When you read this book, be prepared to laugh and to cry (it gets really sad). The Girls from See Saw Lane is a little predictable, but I enjoyed it. The Girls from See Saw Lane is a good book to settle in and read on a rainy afternoon.

I received a complimentary copy of The Girls from See Saw Lane from NetGalley (and the publisher) in exchange for an honest review. ( )
