![]() ![]() At times, I could quote what the characters were about to say. I, however, found it a little too close to the play which I had studied twice in college. The story of Cyrano is a beautiful one, and McCaughrean does a good job of creating a vehicle to tell the story to readers who are unable to read or see the play. Roxanne is so much in love with Christian that she never realizes that his words are actually Cyrano's until it is too late. When she confesses that she likes a new member of his regiment, Cyrano jumps at the chance of helping her love Christian, woo her through letters and witty conversation. However, he believes she could never return his love due to his long and ugly nose. Cyrano is a poet hopelessly in love with his cousin Roxanne. It's good that she cites the novel as being from the play by Edmond Rostand as much of the story is almost word for word from the play, and a lot of the action close to that in the movie.Ĭ yrano is a timeless story involving the ultimate love triangle. Geraldine McCaughrean has taken Edmond Rostand's immortal play, Cyrano, and turned it into a novel. ![]()
