I had trouble folowing who was who... I think it was intended by the author the girls had roman name.
and well it always takes time for the name to stick in my brain but the novella was too short for me to get a grip. anywayyyy
I think it was an ok story

A nice easy read. Athena is the oldest of three sisters, the younger two being her half sisters by her step mother. Throughout this book you get a since of not only Cinderella but also Pride and Prejudice in a way. While Minerva, Athena's middle sister, takes after her mother in being rather mean spirited. Persephone, while being the youngest and facing her own hardships, is kind heart-ed if not a bit of plotter as well. And the father, rather like Mr. Bennett, remains oblivious of it all until the end.

I wont say any more least I give away the entire plot. While this could have been developed more and into a longer story in the end it was done well enough that you are not left with wanting more at the end.

Short, sweet and entertaining, this Cinderella-esque short story was a real delighr. My question remains--will we see mors of Persephone, who was the most charming minx?
