Gregory Maguire: Mirror Mirror, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

"Wildly inventive. . . . Every bit as good as Wicked : wicked good, in fact." ---Kirkus Reviews

The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vincente. But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm--- and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia---decadent children of a wicked pope---no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vincente on a years-long quest, he leaves Bianca under the care---so to speak---of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest salvation can be found as well. . . .

A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White---and has a truth and beauty all its own.
