Status Updates From Une histoire d'ours

Half bear, half human?? Second mom? Wtf is happening?!

I’m not sure about this one…

I feel like my prediction is spot on and I have questions about the readers who did not see this coming. I think I am entering this title with very different background knowledge.

I have not started this book; however, the cover provides clues. Folks calling this a retelling of Beauty and the Beast must not be familiar with stories about women who marry bears. Based on Ivey's other novel, the cover art, and the tantalizing tidbit on the jacket flap - this is a contemporary portrayal of the story of the woman who married a bear. The choice between man and bear predates social media, by a lot.
