"The wheel turns. Blue above, green below, we wander along the way, but love is what the cup of our soul contains when we leave the world and the flesh. This we will drink forever. I know. I am Magda. I am the witch."
With these words, the reader leaves the story behind. But yet, there are the themes from the story that keep the wheel turning--
the power of memory, the importance and the need for love when experiencing great trauma, the bitter cost of survival and the coming of age [growing up way too soon].
Take one of these themes, and in your own words and with your own hands, explain how this novel brings new life to an old fairly tale.
