Godmother: The Secret Cinderella Story

I love the retelling of fairy tales in contemporary adult fiction (and I know the original audience of the Grimm Brothers' writings were not children). they appeal to me in there archetypal intent and also to the side of me that still really believes in magic. This retelling of Cinderella has an interesting, original take on the story. When I finally arrived at point of tying it all together, I I understood why the parts of Lil's past that didn't set well with made me feel that way. Sorry, can't explain more without giving away too much! But if you like new versions of classic fairy tales, you will not be disappointed in reading this book.
