This is the third book of Alice Sebold's that I have read (I believe she just has the three). Anyhow.... It was good, but not my favorite of hers.
This is one of my all-time favorite books. I have read it before (more than 10 years ago) and decided it would be a good re-read. I love revisiting books I have enjoyed in the past, and this book is a perfect example. It is a gothic Cinderella story; and while it is a Cinderella story… it isn’t focused on marriage and living happily ever after. Rather, it is about the evolution of an orphaned girl who flourishes into an independent woman. No wonder this book was such a sensation 120+ years ago!
