All the Ever Afters: The Untold Story of Cinderella's Stepmother by Danielle Teller

dark sad slow-paced

4.0

"I no longer believe that people are born without virtue. It gets beaten out. Misfortune threshes our souls as a flail threshes wheat, and the lightest parts of ourselves are scattered to the wind."

A fresh and realistic version of Cinderella's story where there is no fairy but an actual rich godmother. Of how, maybe, the "evil" stepmother is not wicked at all. Cinderella will never be the same for me again. And I'm not complaining.
