A book review

The two Lotte

The two Lotte was written by Erich Kastner. It is set in 1949. At first it was scandalous, because at that time it wasn’t usual to discuss divorce. Children know and love his works. It won the best screen-play prise in 1951.

Who does not want a twin? A sister who looks the same. This novel is based on a story about a pretty pair of twins, who are separated from each other, because their parents get divorced. Both of them go to the same camp-site, where they met each other. Luise is on a vacation their with her friends, when the bus arrives. From the bus comes down a girl looking just the same as Luise. The governesses schoked, when saw them. Only their hair was different. First Luise and their friend wanted to excommunicate the new girl, Lotte. After Luise realizes, that in they life have something in common, she has only a father, Lotte has only a mother. The story starts after they have noticed that they are twins. They wanted to change each other. That their parents has not recognize that they are not who was before, they must learn about everything from each other.

Their father beginnes to compose a new opera for children and he gives piano lessons to her daughter. Love between Ms Gerlach and her father flare up the love. Lotte went to Gerlach hause and said her to let alone her father but she throws out Lotte, and Lotte gets sick. Immediately their mother was working in editorial office she saw the picture about the girls which has made in camp. Luise avow everything, they were going to Vienna, Lotte feels better and in the end the parents make it up with each other and become a family again.

The film is very realistic in the way that it shows us the family where the parents are divorced and what feelings have than their children have. Both parents are important for childrens. It is about the  everyday life. When we met a person in our life who looks like the same as us, at the first we ail, after admit to that it is not bad.

All things considered, The two Lotte is a real masterpiece book for childrens. It speaks to childrens. When my mother was a child the fashion was thise dotted books and she told me about them. I have read most of  thise dotted books, but this was the best.
