Publisher Notes
"Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister" beautifully plays on the beloved tale of Cinderella, a story of universal appeal, which has been recounted to children throughout the world for more than a hundred years. In this remarkable version, the always inventive Gregory Maguire sweeps readers to Amsterdam, where he weaves the poignant portrait of two impoverished sisters and their widowed mother taken in by a Flemish painter, and the startling events that follow. Exquisitely written with evocative language and artistic metaphors, this wonderful novel offers an enchanting, thoughtful meditation on the true meaning of beauty.
Media Reviews
"[C]aptivating and beautifully written....CONFESSIONS is a rich canvas of colorful characters and fantastic events rendered by an artist attentive to every surface and texture."
