Über diesen Titel

A deliciously gothic story of wishes and curses – a new dark fairy tale set against a Victorian backdrop full of lace and smoke.

Once upon a time Ella had wished for more than her life as a lowly maid.

Now forced to work hard under the unforgiving, lecherous gaze of the man she once called stepfather, Ella’s only refuge is in the books she reads by candlelight, secreted away in the library she isn’t permitted to enter.

One night, among her beloved books of far-off lands, Ella’s wishes are answered. At the stroke of midnight, a fairy godmother makes her an offer that will change her life: seven wishes, hers to make as she pleases. But each wish comes at a price and Ella must decide whether it’s one she’s willing to pay…

A smouldering, terrifying new spin on Cinderella – perfect for fans of Laura Purcell and Erin Morgenstern.

This book really is something else! It has been many, many years since I was so intrigued by a story and so curious about its ending that I could not help myself and look up the end in the middle of the storyline, and I am embarrassed to admit that here I did exactly that. And even though I knew what was coming, I was still surprised and even though it's been a few weeks since I finished the book, I am still wondering about the book and especially the end. It's certainly a book that leaves a lot of room for discussions, I would have loved to read this in school and talk about all the meanings that are hidden between the lines. If you're part of a book club, read this!

The end is still on my mind.
