Highly recommended by the 'Dewey Divas,' a group of Canadian based publishing representatives. A fascinating piece of historical fiction that puts a new spin on the Rapunzel fairytale. Based on the real life writer of this actual tale, Charlotte Rose de la Force, a French noblewoman in the times of Louis XIV, it flips back and forth from her story to that of Margherita, the fictional Rapunzel. Fascinating details about Versailles, the politics of the court, and religious upheaval that took place during that time in history. The story focuses on Charlotte's loves and losses and her banishment to a convent where she meets Sister Seraphina who reveals the story of Rapunzel. Loved it.
