I går forelskede jeg mig i det her cover, der dækker over en moderne genfortælling af eventyret om Snehvide. Pigen er smuk. Skoven er dragende. Og farvekombinationen er perfekt. Bogen hedder The Fairytale Keeper: Avenging the Queen og er skrevet af Andrea Cefalo. Her er handlingsresuméet:
Snow White was a pet
name her mother had given her, but her mother’s dead now. Adelaide
hates that name anyway. A rampant fever claimed Adelaide’s mother just
like a thousand others in Cologne where the people die without Last
Rites and the dead are dumped in a large pit outside of the city walls.
Adelaide’s father is determined to obtain a funeral for his wife, but
that requires bribing the parish priest, Father Soren. When Soren
commits an unforgivable atrocity, he pushes Adelaide to her breaking
point, but if she seeks justice against the cruel priest, she risks
sacrificing everything: her father, her friends, her first love, and
maybe even her life.
