SWOONING FOR ALL THINGS BOOKISH.
Red as Blood and White as Bone by Theodora Goss
RED AS BLOOD AND WHITE AS BONE is a fairy tale inspired story drenched with rich prose. It is a cautionary tale filled with dark deeds true to classic fairy tales, ones later bowdlerized. Lush and bold, it tells the story of a young kitchen maid, one formerly raised in a convent and naive to the outside world, whose innocent joy is found in the secreted fairy tale book she hides and escapes to.
