The Restless Girls

By: Jessie Burton

Narrated by: Thandiwe Newton

A dazzling feminist reinterpretation of a classic fairy tale, from the best-selling author of The Miniaturist and The Muse.

For her 12 daughters, Queen Laurelia's death in a motor car accident is a disaster beyond losing a mother. Their father, King Alberto, cannot bear the idea of the princesses ever being in danger and decides his daughters must be kept safe at all costs. Those costs include their lessons, their possessions and, most importantly, their freedom. But the eldest, Princess Frida, will not bend to his will without a fight, and she still has one possession her father can't take: the power of her imagination. And so, with little but wits and ingenuity to rely on, Frida and her sisters begin their fight to be allowed to live.

A Winner for ages 3, 7, and 11!

My daughters enjoyed this story, as did I. There were some great conversational builders, that motivated me to ask my girls some questions. Thandiwe's narration was perfect, as usual! She's actually the reason I downloaded to this book for my daughters.
