Kissing the Witch: Old Tales in New Skins by Emma Donoghue

emotional reflective tense fast-paced

5.0

I got this for my spouse who has a weakness for retellings of classics and folktales, especially feminist ones, and she loved it. I devoured it in an afternoon and agree. The pitch is "retellings of thirteen fairy tales from the perspectives of their heroines that make almost all of them textually gay," and it's really good.
