Confession of an Ugly Stepsister is another book from Gregory Maguire. He goes back to his stronghold of weaving a beautiful tale from a well known and loved fairy tale i.e. Cinderella. As with his previous novel Wicked you fall for and empathise with the character that was original the 'bad person' as you realise they were misunderstood. It is told from the point of view of one of the ugly stepsisters and I would say explains what really happen ...’what if the fairy tale told only half the story?....' the summary states. This book is wonderfully written and he incorporates the original fairytale expertly into this grown up fantasy free tale. I rate this book 4 out of 5 stars.
