Name: Cinderella and her sisters
Author: Ann Belford Ulanov

📘 Cinderella and her sisters by Ann Belford Ulanov

"The Cinderella tale, so simple and so profound, offers a direct road into and through the thickets of envying and being envied. Envy between sisters, between mothers and daughters, between the sexes, between nations . . . between different parts of our own psyche, even of God." Envy could very well be what was meant by "original sin." It certainly is destructive, yet rarely talked about. This book addresses envy in juxtaposition with the nature of goodness. A must-read for anyone who has found themselves in relationship or family with a narcissist, or just wants to understand the world a little better.
