Being      too proud? Taking up too much space? Or is it just wanting      something, anything, too badly?      That's the problem Arabella faces when she makes her debut in      society. Her parents want her to be sweet and compliant so she can      marry well, but try as she might, Arabella can't extinguish the      fire burning inside her - the source of her deepest wishes, her      wildest dreams.      When an attempt to suppress her emotions tragically backfires,      a mysterious figure punishes Arabella with a curse, dooming her      and everyone she cares about, trapping them in the castle. As the      years pass, Arabella abandons hope. The curse is her fault - after      all, there's nothing more \"beastly\" than a girl who expresses      her anger - and the only way to break it is to find      a boy who loves her for her true self: a cruel task for a girl      who's been told she's impossible to love.      When a handsome thief named Beau makes his way into the castle,      the captive servants are thrilled, convinced he is the one to break      the curse. But Beau - spooked by the castle's strange and forbidding      ladies-in-waiting, and by the malevolent presence that stalks      its corridors at night - only wants to escape. He learned long      ago that love is only an illusion. If Beau and Arabella have      any hope of breaking the curse, they must learn to trust their wounded      hearts, and realize that the cruelest prisons of all      are the ones we build for ourselves.            A stunningly told, gender-swapped retelling of Beauty and      the Beast      Authored by the brilliant, New York Times bestselling,      Carnegie-award-winning author, Jennifer Donnelly      A story that will change how you view beauty, power and your      own emotions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41540820566113,"sku":"9780702334740","price":6.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_29612889.jpg?v=1725609631","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780702334740-beastly-beauty","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
