Twilight: How Did a First-Time Author Make It So Big?


This is the question the Telegraph asks.

From the brief piece that encapsulates what all the fuss is about...

According to the author, who is a Mormon, her books are "about life, not death" and "love, not lust". Each book in the series was inspired by and loosely based on a different literary classic: Twilight on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, New Moon on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, Eclipse on Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights, and Breaking Dawn on A Midsummer Night's Dream.
