Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister

Love this perspective change on the age-old fairytale of Cinderella. Gregory Maguire brings the fairytale to reality by setting the story in more reality based settings and characters. Isn't real life stranger than fiction? He applied the same theory to freshening this fairytale to be more interesting to a grownup audience. And that means he had to have symbolism and other "meat" to the novel, too! Great, fun read. I look forward to checking out other of his titles of the same genre.
