Twilight by Stephenie Meyer | Summary & Study Guide

This young adult vampire novel takes place mostly in a town on the Olympia peninsula in Washington state. The town's name is Forks, and it is one of the rainiest, cloudiest towns in the United States, with only a few days of sunshine during the entire year. The main character, Isabella Swan, commonly known as Bella, is moving to Forks to live with her father, Charlie Swan, who is the chief of police. Bella is making this move because her mother is newly married to a baseball player who must travel, so rather than hold her mother back, Bella goes to live with her father.
