ashtardeza 's review for:
Beauty
by Sheri S. Tepper
This book stuck with me, but man... did it weird me out.
I read a Dutch translation, which seemed to have been translated a bit clumsily so that might be part of the cause.
The book takes a rather cynical view on different fairy-tales, with Beauty ending up as Sleeping Beauty, Snow White and if I remember correctly also Cinderella.
It made me curious for Tepper's other work, and I'd love to get my hands on the English original to see how much was the translation, and how much was the book itself.
