APPEALS TO MANY
Arabella has been told all her life how to live it: what to say and what not to say, to be the perfect future bride. But Arabella want so much more. Her wildest hopes and dreams come to a screaming halt when her attempt to control her emotions brings a curse on herself and those around her, trapping them in their castle. Enter a handsome thief named Beau who also has a troubled past. Those in the castle are hopeful he will be the one to break the curse.
Jennifer Donnelly writes that this book isn't for heroes or princesses but for the screw-ups and the courage it takes to choose hope over despair. Beautifully written, it carries a message of hope to those who may be lacking it and reminds us that sometimes the cruelest prisons are the ones we build ourselves. This take on Beauty and the Beast will appeal to almost anyone and is a book I would reread and underline. The main characters are European.
