"The Cinderella tale, so simple and so profound, offers a direct road into and through the thickets of envying and being envied. Envy between sisters, between mothers and daughters, between the sexes, between nations . . . between different parts of our own psyche, even of God. " Envy could very well be what was meant by "original sin. " It certainly is destructive, yet rarely talked about. This book addresses envy in juxtaposition with the nature of goodness. A must-read for anyone who has found themselves in relationship or family with a narcissist, or just wants to understand the world a little better.
