About the book
  • 17 year old Bella moves to her father's home when
    her mother remarries. At first we see Bella go
    through the usual "new girl at school" stuff. But
    with one exception. She seems to have gained the
    attention of Edward Cullen, the supernaturally
    handsome loner.
  • When Edward seems to defy physics to save Bella's
    life her suspicions are aroused. She's not
    entirely surprised to learn that Edward is a
    vampire. He and his "family" have renounced human
    blood and hunt only animals. Bella presents a
    unique problem to Edward since she has an
    intoxicating scent which he finds difficult to
    resist.
  • At the same time he loves her too deeply to hurt
    her. Bella for her part wants to be with Edward
    and doesn't care who or what he is. The lovers
    meet a challenge when Bella attracts the
    attention of a "tracker" a not so friendly
    vampire who is also attracted to Bella's scent
    but doesn't share Edward's love of Bella.

Twilight
  • Despite the supernatural plotline, a lot of the
    book deals with issues Bella and Edward face as
    they go forward in their relationship.
  • Can they be together in spite of everything? How
    can they make people understand that they're
    feelings for each other go way beyond a teen
    romance?
  • Is it better that they pretend that all they have
    is a normal boyfriend/girlfriend relationship? In
    addition Bella begins to learn the history of
    Edward and his family and how they became
    vampires in the first place.

    what extends she is willing to go to in order to
    be with Edward.
