An adult retelling of Cinderella, Confessions Of An Ugly Stepsister is undoubtedly Gregory Maguire's best work. Cleverly presented almost entirely in flashback, everything seamlessly interweaves from the opening moment. Curveballs are thrown several times just as you're sure you have everything figured out. The ending, while I'm sure obvious to some, caught me by surprise. You'll get lost in this meticulously crafted world, and wish the ending would never come. I've read it several times. Unforgettable.
