Mirror Mirror

Description

“Wildly inventive. . . . Every bit as good as Wicked: wicked good, in fact.” —Kirkus Reviews

The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vincente. But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm– and the world comes to Montefiore. In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia–decadent children of a wicked pope–no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vincente on a years-long quest, he leaves Bianca under the care–so to speak–of Lucrezia. She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest salvation can be found as well. . . .

A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, Mirror Mirror gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White–and has a truth and beauty all its own.
