"It is the heart of this place, and it is dying," says the Beast. And it is true; the center of the Beast's palace, the glittering glasshouse that brings Beauty both comfort and delight in her strange new environment, is filled with leafless brown rosebushes. But deep within this enchanted world, new life, at once subtle and strong, is about to awaken. Twenty years ago Robin McKinley enthralled listeners with the power of Beauty. Now this extraordinarily gifted novelist retells the story of Beauty and the Beast again - but in a totally new way, with fresh perspective, ingenuity, and mature insight.

Don't expect an "expanded" Beauty

Very different in tone and plot to Beauty. Many authors probably wish they could revisit a youthful success, look at the story and tell it differently now that they see the world differently. I'm glad McKinley did it and let us read it. Can foresee a day when I have to decide if I'm in a Beauty mood or a Rose Daughter mood.
The performer's more mature voice and interpretation of the story were superb. Many performers sound like they're reading aloud for the first time - odd tone and emotion that doesn't match the following descriptions - and ruin the book. This one clearly put the work in. I appreciate it. It was effective.
