Mirror Mirror: A Novel

Maguire, Gregory (Author).

Summary: <p>The year is 1502, and seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives perched high above the rolling hills and valleys of Tuscany and Umbria at Montefiore, the farm of her beloved father, Don Vicente. But one day a noble entourage makes its way up the winding slopes to the farm -- and the world comes to Montefiore.</p> <p>In the presence of Cesare Borgia and his sister, the lovely and vain Lucrezia -- decadent children of a wicked pope -- no one can claim innocence for very long. When Borgia sends Don Vicente on a years-long quest, he leaves Bianca under the care -- so to speak -- of Lucrezia.</p> <p>She plots a dire fate for the young girl in the woods below the farm, but in the dark forest salvation can be found as well ...</p> <p>A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, <em>Mirror Mirror</em> gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White -- and has a truth and beauty all its own.</p>
