Cyrano, a man in love with the most beautiful girl in all of Paris. Clever and whitty, charming and heroic Cyrano fears he will never be able to marry the beautiful Roxane because of his large nose, watches as young Christian wins the heart of the young beauty. Cyrano, a poet and master of words can't help be to feel obligated to help the fumbling Christian when words are out of reach.
Cyrano teaches and coaches Christian in what to say, all the while writing love letters to Roxane in Christian's name. Roxane falls in love with the man who can say how he feels and put his feelings to such delicate words.
The beauty of the poetry causes Roxane to proclaim that she would love Christian even if he were ugly. When Cyrano hears this he feels a twinge of hope. But alas with a final twist in the story Cyrano, Roxane, and Christian's struggle to find their places in each other's lives.
This book was wonderful. it was a quick read and I thought that the author did a wonderful job in writing for young adults. This book focused on love and that it depends more on the beauty of the being of the person, than the physical appearance of the person. I loved this book.
