About this product

Product Information

A new take on Cinderella , told from the perspective of the fairy godmother living in modern-day Manhattan Lil is an old woman who spends her days shelving rare books in a tiny Manhattan bookstore and lonely nights at home in her apartment. But Lil has an intriguing secret. Tucked and bound behind her back are white feathery wings--the only key to who she once was: the fairy godmother responsible for getting Cinderella to the ball to unite with her Prince Charming. But on that fateful night, something went terribly and beautifully wrong. Lil allowed herself the unthinkable: to feel the emotions of human beings and fall in love with the prince herself, going to the ball in place of Cinderella in her exquisitely gorgeous human guise. For her unforgivable mistake, she was banished to live among humans, far from her fairy sisters and their magical underwater world. But then one day she meets Veronica--a young, fair-skinned, flame-haired East Village beauty with a love of all things vintage and a penchant for falling in love with the wrong men--and suddenly it becomes clear to Lil that she's been given a chance at redemption. If she can find a soul mate for Veronica, she may be able to right her wrong and return to the fairy world she so deeply longs for.

"A terrific book, sweet, touching and great fun. I loved it." -Joanne Harris " Godmother is earthy, lyrical, sensual and deeply, intelligently romantic. Carolyn Turgeon has a gift for mingling the magical and the mundane. Her earthy, sensual and richly imagined take on the fair folk should appeal to fans of Holly Black." -Alisa Kwitney/Sheckley, author of Flirting in Cars and The Better to Hold You " Godmother is a transcendent little gem of a book." -Novelist Cherie Priest for Subterranean Magazine "Turgeon's work is haunting and hypnotic, blending the line of reality and magic into a gorgeous flowing narrative.  Set against a modern day backdrop, this tale reexamines an all-too familiar story and breathes new life into it." -Anton Strout, author of Dead to Me "With a fairy's touch, Carolyn Turgeon expands the familiar Cinderella story into something deeper, richer and darker than we've ever been allowed.

  • a wonderful book to read

    Caroly Turgeon has managed to put a whole new twist on Cinderella which in itself is phenomenal. A wonderful book to read and hard to put down. Cannot wait to read her other books as well.

  • Godmother by Carolyn Turgeon

    Being a teacher is is great to find all kinds of versions to contrast and compare with the fairytale Cinderella. This is a excellent book.
