Inspired by the myth of Sleeping Beauty, a favorite of her
daughter's, Anne wrote a novel about dominance and
submission. Beauty has been asleep for a hundred years.
Many
princes and suitors have tried to climb her castle walls,
but all have been killed by poisionous thorns. One prince
makes it through by cutting the plants at the roots and
gives Beauty a kiss. The prince claims Beauty as his, and
she becomes his slave. The novel explores the psychological
process of surrender and the ways that the seemingly
helpless claim and exercise power.
