The bright tale of sleeping beauty, the dark tale of the holocaust - twined together in a story you will never forget . . .
It is an old, old tale, the German story of Briar Rose, the Sleeping Beauty. Now one of America's most celebrated writers tells it afresh, set this time in the forests patrolled by the German army during World War II. A tale of castles, of mists and thorns, of a beautiful sleeping princess, and an astonishing revelation of death and rebirth.
A tale that will leave you changed forever.
The tale of Briar Rose.
This is a terrifically moving story of the Holocaust, one that finds hope and bravery behind the barbed wire and reminds us of love's power to heal even the most terrible and enduring wounds. 'Briar Rose' takes on the timeless quality of a true myth, with its depiction of ordinary people doing extraordinary things in the face of nearly incomprehensible evil.
An ALA Best Book for Young Adults and a 1992 Nebula Nominee.
