Beauty

A compelling novel from acclaimed author Sheri S. Tepper, presented in its paperback edition. Tepper, known for critically acclaimed works such as "The Gate To Women's Country" and the Hugo-nominated "Grass," broadens her literary scope with "Beauty," a novel rich with the evocative power of fairy tale and fable. Drawing inspiration from classic tales like "Sleeping Beauty," this is a moving narrative of love and loss, hope and despair, interwoven with elements of magic and nature. The story unfolds against a backdrop both enchanted and frightening, beginning with a wicked aunt's curse that threatens a young woman named Beauty on her sixteenth birthday. Though Beauty manages to sidestep the initial tragedy, she soon finds herself embarked on an adventure of vast consequences, as the enchanted places of this fantastic world—a world not unlike our own—are revealed to be in peril, requiring salvation before it is too late. This copy is a paperback, offered in good condition.
