I haven't seen many of Jane Yolen's adult novels (for this is what "Briar Rose" is) and I'm rather quite impressed. She makes an easy transition between the usual kid books and something more appreciated by an adult."Briar Rose" is the story of Becca, a young journalist whose grandmother passes away. Gemma, the grandmother, had always had a bit of an obsession with the story of Sleepin Beauty, and would entertain Becca and her sisters with it as they grew up. But as Becca matures, she realizes that Gemma seriously thinks the story is about her. The strange thing is that no one in Becca's family knows about Gemma's past. So, armed with a few photos and Gemma's story, Becca sets out for Europe, where she unravels a story about the Holocaust and the truth about her grandmother. It seems like a good idea, but it comes off as rather weak.The novel is not, as it seems, a fairy tale in the sense of fantasy. Yet Yolen tries to pass it off as a realistic fairy tale, which is kind of weird and corny. She also presses in a bunch of *politically correct* stuff that, good in its own mean, just doesn't fit well. The story line runs too much in a straight line, with alternating chapters rushing back in time to Gemma's story telling days. Though fairly interesting, some of the story tends to drag. Still, Yolen's heart was in the right place, and the Sleeping Beauty symbolism of the Holocaust was rather brilliant.All in all, "Briar Rose" is good light reading, something you can sit down for an afternoon, enjoy, and maybe get an education out of.
I wasn't sure what to expect when I started reading this story. But wow - what a strong story this is. It's not only a 'simple' retelling of Sleeping Beauty.Becca's grandmother Gemma is obsessed with the story of Briar Rose (one of the many names of the old fairy tale 'Sleeping Beauty'). When Gemma dies Becca starts on a journeyto find out about her grandmother's past. And finding out she does....This isn't only a story for young adults. Though it is written in a quiet simplistic language.Jane Yolen managed to create a captivating, believable story around the Polish Holocaust that is still with me several days after reading it.
I was introduced to Jane Yolen by her short story in After the King: A Tribute to J.R.R. Tolkien (another great read...highly recommended!). On a recent trip to the library I looked for a book by her on a whim. Briar Rose caught my eye. Last summer I took a trip to Poland, and during my stay visited Auschwitz. Since then I have been very interested in Holocaust stories. Briar Rose, though not a true account, is still a very moving story. It is very well-written and the pace is good, but make sure you have tissues nearby! (Unless I'm just the overly-sensitive type, which I doubt.) I've had to order a copy for my personal library, and I plan to read it again as soon as UPS delivers it.
We all have great ideas, but few of us even attempt to bring them to life. And even when we do, the reality of our dream often pales in comparison to our imagining of it. This is certainly the case with Jane Yolen's entry in the fairy tale series, Briar Rose. The basic premise of the book is a fasicinating one: a young woman investigates why her recently deceased grandmother was fascinated with the story of Sleeping Beauty and discovers that it was her unconscious way (in a Freudian sense) of dealing with her experiences in an extermination camp during the Holocaust. Again, as I said, fascinating. Unfortunately, regardless of how well-intentioned Yolen is, she isn't able to pull it off. The grandmother's fascination with the story as well and the granddaughter's search is really just a means to an end--a discussion of certainly one of the most despicable places on the Holocaust landscape. And even while that aspect of the book is harrowing, not much of the credit really can go to Yolen--how could it not be harrowing? Yolen should be commended for making the character who relates the Holocaust part of the story gay--it allows her to focus on a part of the Holocaust that isn't often discussed. Ultimately, though, an A for effort, but a C+ for results.
Here tells a tale of a little girl who was the "apple of her grandmother's eye"... A sweet relationship between a girl and her grandmother that is present even when the child grows up... After the tragic death of her grandmother, Becca sets out to uncover the mystery of her "gemma's" life.The only clues to her grandmother Gitl's past life are of the fairy tale "Sleeping Beauty" (which she told in her own version) and a box of few precious possessions...The box has a carved rose and briar fence on its lid...this is the chilling connection between the sweet fairy tale and the horrid Holocaust of which this book revolves around...Becca travels to Poland to unravel the events that led up to her grandmother's immigration to America...Little does she know, she may discover more than she bargained for.... The book has a beautifully crafted plot...A deep description of the horrors of the Holocaust and of the Nazi terror...And the stunning connection of two very different tales...
I love fairy tales and I love Jane Yolen, so I can't think of a more fitting combination. A grandmother's mysterious past in World War II Europe prompts her granddaughter to search for her own history. The grandmother's strange rendition of the fairy tale Sleeping Beauty (Briar Rose) provides some clues, and the granddaughter goes to Europe to search. As she pieces together fragments of her grandmother's past, the reader is gripped with the tale. I told a friend not to start reading this book unless she had a few hours to finish it. She didn't heed my warning, and was up until 2 a.m. Be warned, the same thing will happen to you. I recently re-read it, so there wasn't the same sense of urgency, but it just gets better with time. This is definitely one of my favorite books.
