Lady Tremaine
Reese’s Book Club Pick (A Novel)
Book • 2026
Rachel Hochhauser's 'Lady Tremaine' revisits the Cinderella fairy tale by centering the narrative on the infamous stepmother, exploring her history and motivations.
The novel complicates the familiar story, humanizing a traditionally vilified character and challenging readers' assumptions about villainy and projection.
Through rich characterization, the book reframes Cinderella's innocence and the stepmother's severity, sometimes portraying Cinderella as immature or narcissistic.
It appeals to readers who enjoy revisionist fairy tales and psychological depth within familiar myths.
The work provokes reflection on perspective, empathy, and the stories we inherit about blame and fault.
