The centre of Bridget Breiner's examination of the fairytale is not Clara, the Cinderella, but Livia, one of her stepsisters. What happens when one of the most famous fairytales is told from the perspective of one of the antagonists? Isn't "evil" a question of perspective? Suffering from her mother's power games, Livia discovers her counterpart in Clara. Admiration and fascination turn into jealousy. The story follows its familiar course: the prince chosen by her mother for Livia finds true love in Clara. But Livia goes her own way, frees herself from the constraints of her environment and takes her life into her own hands.
