I loved this book. As a fan of fairytales, I love the way she weaves it together and the underlying message, brilliant!
This is easily one of the weirdest books I've ever read. And to be honest, I want to shake Sheri Tepper and scream "What the hell was that?!"The protagonist is Sleeping Beauty (who escapes her curse, narrowly) who is the mother of Cinderella, who is the mother of Snow White.

This is a very hard book in some ways. The first couple of chapters are very difficult to make it through. Yet if you can, please continue. It gets so much better and it is a wonderful feeling to have finished this book. Very worth a read.
If you read nothing else by this wonderful woman, read this. A rerendering of Sleeping Beauty. Beauty becomes a strong character with hope and fear guiding her way. Not your typical sci-fi fantasy novel.
It's hard to describe this book -- it starts out as a fantasy, and ends up more science fiction. There is a lot of magic and wonder, but it gets very, very dark. Not a light-hearted read, but then, none of Tepper's books are very cheery.
