This is the Rapunzel I have always wanted to know., There are fairy tale princesses like Rapunzel, who are lovely and compassionate and kind. In gratitude, they sing from the pages, all full of suffering and longing and ferocious intellect.
She has plucked them from their perfumed clouds, and returned them to their primal form, to the unique women they were once, before their fairy tales diluted them. Turgeon has managed to peel back centuries of dressing and sweetness and lace that have been heaped upon these characters. This story of Rapunzel and Snow White may feel as familiar as it is thoroughly innovative, but it reads like an original - like the real story. To callCarolyn Turgeon's The Fairest of Them All a retelling doesn't seem quite accurate.
