<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, we&amp;rsquo;re talking with author (and puzzle entrepreneur) Rachel Hochhauser about the March Reese&amp;rsquo;s Book Club Pick, Lady Tremaine. It&amp;rsquo;s not just a re-telling of Cinderella &amp;mdash; it&amp;rsquo;s an un-telling that dares to ask: what if the wicked stepmother wasn&amp;rsquo;t wicked &amp;hellip; but a mom trying her best to provide for her children? And what if a marriage isn&amp;rsquo;t a happily ever after &amp;hellip; but the beginning of a whole new story? Danielle and Rachel talk puzzle-solving strategies, falconry, and decentering men and romance in women&amp;rsquo;s stories. You may think you know the story of Cinderella, but you&amp;rsquo;ve never read it like &lt;em&gt;this.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;BOOKS MENTIONED:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://books.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewFeature?id=6754987999&amp;amp;mt=11&amp;amp;ls=1&amp;amp;itscg=80048&amp;amp;itsct=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;campaign_id=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;at=1000l36qK"&gt;Lady Tremaine by Rachel Hochhauser&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/cinderella/id1037629346?at=1000l36qK&amp;amp;itscg=80048&amp;amp;itsct=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;campaign_id=AB_PT_RBC_POD"&gt;Cinderella by Charles Perrault&amp;nbsp;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/ella-enchanted/id553174334?at=1000l36qK&amp;amp;itscg=80048&amp;amp;itsct=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;campaign_id=AB_PT_RBC_POD"&gt;Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-little-mermaid/id982719522?at=1000l36qK&amp;amp;itscg=80048&amp;amp;itsct=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;campaign_id=AB_PT_RBC_POD"&gt;Little Mermaid by Hans Christian Andersen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/the-sleeping-beauty/id487910015?at=1000l36qK&amp;amp;itscg=80048&amp;amp;itsct=AB_PT_RBC_POD&amp;amp;campaign_id=AB_PT_RBC_POD"&gt;Sleeping Beauty by&amp;nbsp; Charles Perrault&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See &lt;a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener"&gt;omnystudio.com/listener&lt;/a&gt; for privacy information.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Description

This week, we’re talking with author (and puzzle entrepreneur) Rachel Hochhauser about the March Reese’s Book Club Pick, Lady Tremaine. It’s not just a re-telling of Cinderella — it’s an un-telling that dares to ask: what if the wicked stepmother wasn’t wicked … but a mom trying her best to provide for her children? And what if a marriage isn’t a happily ever after … but the beginning of a whole new story? Danielle and Rachel talk puzzle-solving strategies, falconry, and decentering men and romance in women’s stories. You may think you know the story of Cinderella, but you’ve never read it like this.
