Rumplestilkskin was really the Woman of the Wood.,
By A Customer
This review is from: How to Spin Gold: A Woman's Tale (Hardcover)
The nameless "girl with the silver eye," an outcast, has a powerful connection with the lovely Miller's Daughter, Orelie. The nameless girl becomes the Woman of the Wood, a power outside the community, while Orelie is called to marry the Prince. The woman of the wood is in love with him, Orelie is not.
The gold is spun, the ill-fated marriage is sealed, but the woman of the wood does not get Orelie's first-born--a girl. And yet, in the end, the contract is fulfilled--except that the story is wrong, the one we've all heard, about the spiteful little man whose name is found out. Her name is never known, except by her.
A wonderful, compelling read. Hard to put down.
5.0 out of 5 stars

How to Spin Gold held me in happy thrall from beginning to end--Cunningham delivers sheer magic with this exquisite re-visioning of the classic Rumplestiltskin tale. I didn't want it to end.
