Not quite a Cinderella story.
submitted by terpsichore17 on July 16, 2019, 2:13pm
Christine's journey, from the grind of poverty to the delirium of wealthy life and back again, is like the worst sort of Cinderella story: one where the fairy godmother is a rich aunt, sensitive to the whims of society's opinion; where there are no princes; where Cinderella chafes at returning to the ashes.
All of this makes it seem more timely (timeless?) than I imagined at the outset. Christine's feelings are drawn out so clearly and so realistically at each turn.
Given the story's terminus, I feel like it ought to be published with 20-30 pages of a sample of Sweig's other work, just to obscure how many pages are left.
