SARAH, PLAIN AND TALL
Patricia MacLachlan
The novel which titled “Sarah, Plain and Tall” tells a story about a
family who is looking for a new wife and mother for a father and his two
children. In this story, there are four main characters which contains Anna,
her brother Caleb, their father Jacob and a woman Sarah Elisabeth Wheaton.
A stepmother is not really a wicked person. We are just influenced by
many medias such as film that show us how really bad of having a stepmother. However,
in this novel the author Patricia MacLachlan wants to show to the readers that
not all stepmothers have bad behavior to a new family, such as torturing,
selfish, anger, etc. Through this novel, the author describes the
characteristic of a stepmother and stepmother’s relationship to a new family
that make life more colorful. The cover of this novel is nice and simple that
shows simplicity life of a family with a stepmother existence. But it is enough
to make readers feel curiosity.
This novel reminds me to the film which titled “Delisa” which
tells audience about how lucky we are having an angel named mother that always
loves, protects, patient whatever happened to us. It shows us a struggle
becoming a mother to keep a family’s harmonization to the father and the
children. Thus, this novel is an interesting story of a family and a stepmother
that can be read by kids, youngster until adult person.
