Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast
Description
In this enchanting retelling of a classic fairy tale, a young woman defies her family's wishes to save her father from a terrible debt, offering herself as a prisoner in an enchanted castle. Beauty has always felt out of place among her beautiful sisters, finding solace instead in books and quiet contemplation—but when she meets the mysterious Beast who holds her captive, she discovers that true beauty lies far deeper than appearance. As she navigates the castle's magical halls and uncovers the secrets behind the Beast's curse, Beauty must confront her own prejudices and learn to see beyond the monstrous exterior before her. Robin McKinley's lyrical prose transforms this timeless tale into an intimate portrait of courage, compassion, and the transformative power of love, creating an unforgettable story of two unlikely souls finding connection in the darkest of circumstances.
