{"product_id":"mirror-mirror-a-novel","title":"Mirror Mirror: A Novel","description":"\"Entertaining…profound….A novel for adults that unearths our buried fascination with the primal fears and truths fairy tales contain.\" ―Christian Science Monitor\nThe acclaimed author who re-imagined a darker, more dangerous Land of Oz in his New York Times bestselling series The Wicked Years, offers a brilliant reinvention of the timeless Snow White fairy tale. Setting the story amid the cultural, political and artistic whirlwind of Renaissance Italy―and casting the notorious Lucrezia Borgia as the Evil Queen―Mirror Mirror will enthrall a wide array of book lovers ranging from adult fans of Harry Potter to readers of the sophisticated stories of Angela Carter.\nThe 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 Vicente. But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm ― and the world comes to Montefiore.\nIn the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia ― members of the infamous Borgia family and decadent children of a wicked pope ― no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a years-long quest, he leaves Bianca under the care ― so to speak ― of Lucrezia.\nShe 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 ...\nA lyrical work of stunning creative vision, this literary fairy tale retelling gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White ― and has a truth and beauty all its own.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0060988657\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: HBSV.0060988657.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Maguire, Gregory\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Book  is in good condition and has some writing, underlining, and or highlighting inside.
