What this book is about
Stephenie Meyer's Twilight follows Bella Swan, who moves to rainy Forks, Washington and falls in love with Edward Cullen — a vampire who has been seventeen for eighty years. The novel's appeal lies in its sustained romantic tension and the intensity of Bella's perspective: everything is dull except Edward. The romantic dynamic is notably possessive, worth discussing with younger readers, but the content is mild.
