Summary

This compelling historical novel recreates the life story of literature's most famous brothers and could almost be a fairytale itself with its changes of fortune, tests of duty and honor, lost loves, and twisted family relationships. As Auguste, a niece, attempts to learn an old family secret, classic fairytales are retold, and the mysterious German woods forever haunt in the background.

"Haydn Middleton's rich language and excellent characterization bring to life the multifaceted nineteenth-century Germany...An unusual, beautifully written story."--Historical Novels Review

"A compelling tale, this book has the power to both shock and enthrall in much the same way as the fairy tales themselves."--The Examiner (U.K.)
