The Juniper Tree (Paperback) af Barbara Comyns (Bog)
Bella Winter is homeless and jobless. The mother of a toddler by a man whose name she didn t quite catch her once pretty face is now marred by a scar from a car accident. She s recently disentangled herself from a selfish and indifferent boyfriend and a cruel and indifferent mother. But she shares a quality common to Barbara Comyns s heroines: a bracingly unsentimental ability to carry on. It s not long before Bella has found not only a job but a vocation; not only a place to live but a home and a makeshift family. As Comyns s novel progresses the story echoes and inverts the Brothers Grimm fairy-tale The Juniper Tree. Will Bella s hard-won restoration to life and love come at the cost of others happiness? -- A modern reimagining of a classic fairy tale by one of most bewitching idiosyncratic British writers of the twentieth century.
