Title: The Book of Pearl by Timothee de Fombelle
Book Beginnings:
"Who would have guessed that she used to be a fairy?"Friday 56:
"'It's something that can fill one's life. Turning around and around inside you, until you die.'"Comment: This book is truly a fairy tale, translated from French. It is also a love story that has extended beyond time and world borders. It is a little confusing because of the two time periods and worlds but I find it charming. A fairy loses her fairy-ness for love and a prince loses his kingdom for love. I'm hoping it ends up at "And they lived happily ever after."
