Gregory Maguire reimagines the classic Cinderella tale through the eyes of Iris, the plain and perceptive stepsister whose life becomes entangled with beauty, jealousy and social ambition in seventeenth-century Holland. When Iris’s family takes in the ethereal Clara, tensions rise as the household becomes a battleground of appearances and expectations. As artistic intrigue, class politics and personal longing shape their world, Iris must confront what beauty means—and what it costs. Maguire blends folklore and historical detail to craft a story about identity, desire and the truths hidden beneath fairy tales. (William Morrow, 1999; 372 pp)
