Mirror Mirror
This time we get to enjoy the Grimms Brothers’ tale of Snow White. In Maguire’s new novel, Snow White is called Bianca De Nevada. The time is 1502, and Bianca is seven years old. Of her beauty, there was no doubt, and no description would serve. But the name was correct. Bianca, a name referring to the polished whiteness of her skin, almost a marble from the Carrara region. Her widowed father, Vicente De Nevada, owns a property called Montefiore, in Italy. “Montefiore was larger than a farmer’s villa, but not so imposing as a castle.” Vicente has purposely and successfully shielded Bianca from the outside world. She has grown to the age of seven with her father; the old cook, Primavera Vecchia; and the resident priest, Fra Ludovico, as her only companions.
