Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser

Format & Condition: Hardback, Excellent
Genre: Other; Literary Fiction

Cinderella’s infamous stepmother takes center stage in this reimagining of the familiar fairy tale. Twice widowed and struggling to keep her household afloat, Lady Tremaine must secure a future for her daughters while navigating a royal court whose promises may be far more dangerous than they appear.

A Reese’s Book Club pick, Rachel Hochhauser’s debut gives a much-maligned woman a voice of her own and asks who gets to decide what makes a villain. I recommend it for readers who enjoy complicated heroines, fiercely protective mothers, and stories that make you reconsider everything you thought you knew.
