it's no secret...
i adore alice hoffman.
this is the 2nd of 3 books
i read of hers
just this year...
just this year SO FAR.
i suspect there will be more.

and
it's also no secret
that i love fairy tales
if you know me at all...
there are books of fairy tales
all through my house.

so can you imagine how happy
it makes me when one of my
favorite writers
references fairy tales
with words that sound like music
and poems and whispered secrets.

once again, she did not disappoint.

"Every fairy tale had a bloody lining. 
Every one had teeth and claws"
Alice Hoffman
