William Goldman - 2003-07-15 (first published in 1973)
Goodreads Rating
This beloved classic tells the story of a beautiful woman who marries a handsome prince, only to discover he's not everything she dreamed of. With fencing, fighting, true love, revenge, and monsters both gentle and monstrous, this book has everything you could want in a story. Perfect for both kids and adults, it's a tale of death, lies, truth, miracles, and just a little bit of sex.
