Kontis pulls threads from a dozen different fairy tales to weave a complex tapestry that is half fantasy romance and half family saga. The seventh daughter of a seventh daughter, Sunday has fallen in love with an enchanted frog, which provides the tale’s focal point. Witty narration and clever dialogue help make this novel memorable.
