![]() ![]() Ruth, the oldest, is dumb and mute and taken care of by Iris, the younger, smarter sister, who shows artistic promise but is considered plain at best and will never be a beauty. Poor and begging, they have no choice but to first take a job as the housekeeper to an artist, then to a merchant of the city (I believe it's Amsterdam but not entirely sure). This book follows the story of Iris and Ruth, two little girls who, with their mother, flee from England after their father is murdered. But with so many people telling me how great this guy is, I decided to give it another shot. I still haven't read "Wicked." Years ago, I tried reading this book and just couldn't get into it. ![]() I love books based on fairy tales, but it's taken me forever to really read any of Maguire's stuff. ![]()
