In 1944 fascist Spain, a young girl, fascinated with fairy-tales, goes to live with her new stepfather, along with her pregnant mother. It soon becomes apparent that the captain is a ruthless head of the Spanish army with no human feelings other than rage. The same night of her arrival she meets a fairy who she follows into an old labyrinth on the grounds. In the center of this labyrinth she encounters an old faun who tells her that she is a princess. He also tells her that in order to fulfill her princess destiny she must prove her royalty by completing three difficult tasks. Struggling with problems with her pregnant mother and evil stepfather, the girl deals with the harsh realities of the world while desperately trying to complete her three tasks on time.
I'd replace old for ancient. Make sure to mention that the princess is immortal.
ReplyDeleteRachel, I may use this as an exemplar of a plot summary. You've captured the basics and most of the necessary specifics. One thing you should add: mention Mercedes and the doctor. They have important roles.
