Gregory Maguire tells us that the story of Cinderella is not a true account - that through the passage of time, the tale has been altered beyond recognition. His main character, the 'ugly stepsister' decides to set the record straight and tell the story as she remembers it, and without the embellishments of magic and fancy.

Mr Maguire tells a wonderful tale, with believeable and enjoyable characters. 'Confessions' is often funny, occasionally sad and throughout, an engaging page turner.
I highly recommend this book to all who enjoy a good story.
