Description:
Set against the rich backdrop of 17th-century Holland, Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister tells the story of Iris, an unlikely heroine who finds herself swept from the lowly streets of Haarlem to a strange world of wealth, artifice, and ambition. Iris's path quickly becomes intertwined with that of Clara, the mysterious and unnaturally beautiful girl destined to become her sister. Far more than a fairy tale, this "bewitching" (Chicago Tribune) follow-up novel from celebrated author Gregory Maguire is a story of beauty and betrayal, illusion and understanding, reminding readers that deception can be unearthed -- and love unveiled -- in the most unexpected of places.
