The Restless Girls
The Restless Girls | Jessie Burton
4 posts | 6 read | 6 to read
For her twelve daughters, Queen Laurelia's death in a motor car accident is a disaster beyond losing a mother. Their father, King Alberto, cannot bear the idea of the princesses ever being in danger and decides his daughters must be kept safe at all costs. Those costs include their lessons, their possessions and, most importantly, their freedom. But the eldest, Princess Frida, will not bend to his will without a fight and she still has one possession her father can't take: the power of her imagination. And so, with little but wits and ingenuity to rely on, Frida and her sisters begin their fight to be allowed to live.

#Stella does not think that having a book on your neck is much of a fairy tale.

Aimeesue @Leftcoastzen Yeah, for a while. Until my legs fall asleep or she decides she needs to leap up and clamber over me to bark at a leaf. 😂 (edited) 5y

This is a beautifully illustrated modern fairy tale that I really enjoyed. A feminist retelling of the 12 dancing princesses. I loved the change to the ending, obviously 🤣 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
