A 4 star story until the last chapter, which read like a strange, surreal epilogue. It felt somewhat out of place, too mysterious and impossible even for this mysterious and magical tale. ( ) Lovely, lovely writing. Basically adored the first two chapters. I am realizing that I love cozy cottages with an isolated family who lives close, but not too close to a small town, and with animals and gardens and a little magic. However, I quickly realized that this was a fairy tale retelling and that made me put the story down for a bit because I wasn't in the mood for that. I ended up picking it up again because I loved the writing. The characters in this novel were wonderful fleshed out and interesting. I wonder if I would have loved this more if I'd gone into it looking for a retelling?
Fans of the earlier fairy-tale retellings will find this book satisfying. Teens may not fully understand the childless woman's yearning. What will move them profoundly is the pull of possessive love, the coming-of-age drama from the parent's point of view. This version, with its Faustian overtones, will challenge readers to think about this old story on a deeper level. While sometimes unduly hazy and with a telescoped last chapter, this is a book that transforms myth without flippancy, honoring the power of its roots. The genius of the novel lies not just in the details but in its breadth of vision. Its shiveringly romantic conclusion will leave readers spellbound.

Based on the fairy tale Rapunzel, the story is told in alternating chapters from the point of view of Zel, her mother, and the nobleman who pursues her, and delves into the psychological motivations of each of the characters. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
