My Review: Snow. Glass. Apples. The images are iconic, aren’t they? Snow White. Mirror Glass. Poison Apples. Howsomever, particularly considering that he was married to a woman who might as well be Maleficent, the King of this little fantasy kingdom is actually a rather decent - and somewhat nondescript - man. Also a desperate one. His 12-year-old daughter, Snow, seems to be dying by inches - and it's not an easy or an easy death.

My Review:  “It’s never too late to be who you might have been,” as George Eliot is supposed to have said. She’s certainly someone who would have known, whether she actually said it or not. In the summer of 1969, Eleanor Bell Strickland may not remember the phrase - because she’s been having more than a few problems with her memories of her own life these days - but she’s hoping it’s true all the same. And that it’s not too late for her to try, not so much in spite of being 69 herself, but because she’s just learned the reason why her memory has felt like Swiss cheese for longer than she’d care to admit.
