Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West1522 reviews
Gregory Maguire
Harper Paperbacks, 1996
Truly Bizarre But Impossible to Put Down
I suppose that if I was going to take a famous children's story and make an adult novel out of it, I'm not sure I would have chosen something based on the Wizard of Oz. Maybe "Blueberries for Sally," where it turns out that the missing father from the story had been killed in a gangland slaying ...

Blackberry Wine: A Novel 60 reviews
Joanne Harris
