Title: A fine, moving book
Product review: The novel is both an imaginative retelling of the "Cinderella" story and a meditation on what it means to see, honestly and truly. Maguire creates complex characters: in particular, prickly Iris and the mesmirizing "wicked stepmother" Margarethe. The seventeenth century Haarlem setting is vividly drawn and the author's respect for painting is very apparent and welcome.
