Beauty

Beauty
By Susan Wilson
Crown Publishers, 1996. 200 pgs. Fiction

Traveling to New Hampshire to paint the portrait of novelist Leland Crompton, Alix Miller finds a man hideously deformed by a rare genetic disease, but as she spends hours working on the portrait, Alix discovers the magnificent man inside the recluse.

This is a modern retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I enjoyed the book, but didn’t really like the way it ended. Overall a good fractured fairy tale though!
