![]() ![]() ![]() If Braswell were to include gory details or add darker undertones to the overall story, then maybe a Grimm effect could be achieved. ![]() When I hear the word “twisted” I start thinking of Grimm tales and dark storylines. While I do enjoy reminiscing over my favorite fairy tale, admittedly I had higher hopes for this “twisted” tale. The story seems to use the definition of the word “twisted” loosely, which is something I have mixed feelings about. In doing this, the chapters from the past provide insight into the present chapters, giving an acceptable backstory to the current events of the novel. In “As Old as Time,” the point of view changes for each chapter of the book, starting in the past when Maurice meets Rosalind, the Enchantress, and changing to the present when he accompanies Belle on her adventures. Much to Belle’s dismay, she stays with her father and waits for the return of her mother, whom she barely remembers. Her father, on the other hand, wants to stay put in their small home in case her mother returns. As Belle ages, her desire to leave the cottage and explore intensifies. One day, Rosalind goes missing, leaving Maurice and young Belle alone in their small cottage in the village. This story follows not just Belle, but her father Maurice as well. ![]() Author Liz Braswell though, takes this classic story and puts a twist on it - what if the Enchantress that cursed the beast was Belle’s mother? Hat if the Enchantress that cursed the beast was Belle’s mother?”Ī cliché tale, yes, but always a childhood favorite. ![]()

![]() ![]() She also talks about the representation of people of colour in American media, being overweight and how the realities of life with her body type are rarely treated with respect, and how she struggles to fit an outdated, damaging perception of what feminist practice should look like. She eases us into things slowly by talking about subjects that are somewhat innocuous - like her days playing at competitive Scrabble tournaments and her love of the Sweet Valley series in middle and high school - but as the book progresses, she tackles weightier issues: the erasure of black lives and experiences in America, feeling isolated as an young black woman in a school full of perfect, cornfed-looking white kids, the stresses of academic life, and being gang-raped as a teenager. By turns funny, candid, and painful, she brings her considerable wit to bear on a variety of topics.

When a body washes ashore near the estate, Bridey is horrified to realize this is not a victim of war, but of a brutal killing. Chasing ten young children through the winding paths of the estate grounds might have soothed Bridey's anxieties and grief-if Greenway were not situated so near the English Channel and the rising aggressions of the war.
