A unique retelling of the classic fairytale, Snow White by the internationally bestselling author of WICKED
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. 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. 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...
A lyrical work of stunning creative vision, MIRROR MIRROR gives fresh life to the classic story of Snow White - and has a truth and beauty all its own.

In early sixteenth century Italy, seven-year-old Bianca de Nevada lives happily with her widowed father. But when a caravan arrives at her home in Montefiore, bearing the famous Cesare and Lucrezia Borgia, her life is turned upside down. Her father sent away, Bianca is left in the hands of Lucrezia, who plans the girl's murder. Escaping into the woods, Bianca soon discovers a group of seven magical dwarfs...I am rather of two minds with this book. On the one hand, the author does an excellent job of retelling the story of Snow White, placing it in Renaissance Italy, peopled with fascinating characters. On the other hand, the story starts out slow, and never seems to pick up the pace. Indeed, the story seems to drag along from start to end as if the author had a great idea for a story, but couldn't think up all of the details it needed. He obviously knows a great deal about Renaissance Italy, but he cannot combine the two elements of his story into the really fascinating story that it should be.Overall, I found the book to be good, at times even very good, but it is not the great story it should be. I give it a guarded recommendation.

I love Gregory McGuire and Confessions of An Ugly Stepsister is one of my favourites. Mirror Mirror just isn't in the same league though. At points there are hints of his potential, but often it just doesn't flow and the idea of entiwining the Snow White story with the historical Borgia's is clunky; the metaphors either a little obtuse or way too obvious. Disappointing.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say “Wicked” was a one-off, and yet I have not found any other book by Maguire to be as successfully visionary. There was something so spellbindingly perfect about the way our familiar Oz was turned on its head. I’m beginning to believe, however, that the type of magic I long for when cozying up with another Maguire novel, may never be rekindled.Snow White, known of course as Bianca, makes her home in 16th century Italy. For a bit of historical reference, I suppose, the legendary Borgia family feature in the story; with Lucrezia Borgia cast as the “step-mother”. I struggled a bit with this mesh of historical realism, but it was not that plot-point which truly left me feeling very unaffected.Maguire seemed to bog himself down in the uninspiring detail. The language felt a bit clumsy, and sometimes overly ostentatious, as well. Snow White’s dwarves have been recreated numerous times, and in many guises, but I cannot decide of Maguire’s vision of them as humanoid lumps of stone was inspired or ridiculous. Although, some of the only scenes I actually found myself enjoying took place in the magical depths of the earth with the dwarves; and yet on reflection, the whole bit about them coming to terms with their “names” was a bit esoteric.Maguire is a gifted author, and I haven’t given up on him yet. I just long to see his talents ignite the literary world once more. It feels as if he is biding his time in mediocrity until a better inspiration comes along.
