It's in French, natch, but it's really post-modern, the cinematography is breathtaking, and the music was written by Michel LeGrand ("Windmills of My Mind," for those of you who remember the 70s). The French title is "Peau d'Ane." If you like Cocteau's "Beauty and the Beast," I recommend this very highly.

I keep it near me and read it lots *grins* I'll have to buy Deerskin. It sounds like a very good read. I've been a Tanith Lee fan since like forever. Birthgrave, Storm Lord, Sabella, Kill the Dead and many more. She's fab. Read her *smiles* Janeo on da farm Sunshine…

Now it looks like I'm going to have to buy this one and read it. I LOVE fairy tales but I'm not too into the YA thing.

I've also read Tanith Lee's Metallic Lover and Silver Metal Lover in the past. I didn't like ML as much as I liked SML.

I enjoy McKillip myself. And Tanith Lee for that matter. Tales from the Flat Earth rocks my world. I would hazard a guess that if someone likes McKillip, they would like McKinley as well.

I think I was fourteen, fifteen or so. I was browsing the adult book section for romances and it caught my eye. Loved it. Was disturbed by it, of course, but wow. After that, she's been an auto-borrow-from-the-library in high school and auto-buy now. And speaking of evocative prose, Cecilia Dart-Thornton's "Bitterbynde" trilogy just makes me love words.

Odd that this is a favorite even though I have never reread the first couple of chapters. This is the first that I have heard the happy news that she has something else due out.
