Dalla quarta di copertina:
Sheri Tepper was born in Colorado. She worked for many years for non-profit-making organizations and was a writer of children’s fiction. She sold her first adult novel in 1982 and has written many highly acclaimed science fiction and fantasy novels since then. She has also written crime and horror. She now lives in New Mexico.
BRILLIANT, UNIQUE AND UNFORGETTABLE. THE FIRST GREAT FANTASY ACHIEVEMENT OF THE 1990s
On her sixteenth birthday, Beauty, daughter of the Duke of Westfaire, side-steps the sleeping curse placed upon her by her wicked aunt – only to be kidnapped by voyeurs from another time and place, far from the picturesque castle in 14th century England. She is taken to the world of the future, a savage society where, even among the teeming billions, she is utterly alone. Here her adventures begin. As she travels magically through time to visit places both imaginary and real she eventually comes to understand her special place in humanity’s destiny. As captivating as it is uncompromising, 'Beauty' will carve its own unique place in the hearts and minds of readers.
“'Beauty' lives up to its name in all ways. It is a story of mankind and magic, fairies and fairytales, future and fantasy all intertwined into a complex collage about the downfall of Earth ... It is a story you can float away in. The writing is beautiful and the storytelling immaculate, so get it”
TIME OUT
“'Beauty' slips its message like a knife through skin and brain and bone ... It is brilliant and subtle and fabulous”
