Stein Sadie - The Juniper Tree - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: A modern reimagining of a classic fairy tale by one of most bewitching idiosyncratic British writers of the twentieth century. Bella Winter has hit a low. Homeless and jobless she is the mother of a toddler by a man whose name she didn t quite catch and her once pretty face is disfigured by the scar she acquired in a car accident. Friendless and without family she's recently disentangled herself from a selfish and indifferent boyfriend and a cruel and indifferent mother. But she shares a quality common to Barbara Comyns's other heroines: a bracingly unsentimental ability to carry on. Before too long Bella has found not only a job but a vocation; not only a place to live but a home and a makeshift family. As Comyns's novel progresses the story echoes and inverts the Brothers Grimm's macabre tale The Juniper Tree. Will Bella's hard - won restoration to life and love come at the cost of the happiness of others?
