Book Description
================
From Publishers Weekly
Windling's Fairy Tale series has produced several excellent fantasy
novels inspired by classic fairy tales. This is one of the series's
most ambitious efforts, and only a writer as good as Yolen ( Sister
Light, Sister Dark ) could bring it off. Yolen takes the story of Briar
Rose (commonly known as Sleeping Beauty) and links it to the Holocaust--a
far-from-obvious connection that she makes perfectly convincing. Rebecca
Berlin, a young woman who has grown up hearing her grandmother Gemma
tell an unusual and frightening version of the Sleeping Beauty legend,
realizes when Gemma dies that the fairy tale offers one of the very
few clues she has to her grandmother's past. To discover the facts behind
Gemma's story, Rebecca travels to Poland, the setting for the book's
most engrossing scenes and its most interesting, best-developed characters.
By interpolating Gemma's vivid and imaginative story into the larger
narrative, Yolen has created an engrossing novel. She handles a difficult
subject with finesse in a book that should be required reading for anyone
who is tempted to dismiss fantasy as a frivolous genre.

From Library Journal
A young woman's promise to her dying grandmother leads her on a quest
to discover the truth of her own family's mysterious beginnings in this
grim retelling of the classic fairy tale "Briar Rose," or "The Sleeping
Beauty." In Yolen's modern-day version, the wall of thorns becomes a
barbed-wire prison, while the sleeping princess is both victim and heroine.
The latest in the "Fairy Tale" series showcases Yolen's skill at transforming
the real world into a realm of fantasy. A good selection for adult and
YA fantasy collections.
