The Stepsister's Tale - Tracy Barrett
I quite enjoyed this retelling of Cinderella from the Stepsister's perspective.
Mostly told from the oldest stepsister's, Jane Montjoy, perspective. The story tells of how Isabella and her father come to live with The Montjoy sisters and their mother, how poor the Montjoys are and what life is like for them.
She weaves in the Cinderella story very nicely however does not end it like the fairytale we are used to.
I almost forgot that I was reading a retelling until the middle/near the end. I would recommend this book if you are looking for a light read and enjoy fairytales.
