A retelling of Snow White from the evil step mother's point of view as fifteen-year-old Dolce grows up on islands in a Venetian lagoon where she learns how to make mirrors, but when her mother dies she is taken in by a widower and his daughter while she secretly continues making mirrors and slowly goes mad from mercury poisoning.

Finished this Snow White retelling! Very good though it started our slow. Lots of Italian Renaissance history weaved into the story, and I loved the way the author connected all the details of the classic story. #fairytalereadingchallenge 📚😄

A Snow White retelling. I thought it dragged a lot in the beginning and just felt far fetched but it wasn't horrible.
