โTender and heartbreakingly candid reinvention of memory.โ
โKate Southwood, author of Falling to Earth
โJane Rosenberg LaForgeโs An Unsuitable Princess is a daring combination of old-school storytelling and the true wit of the best of contemporary memoirists. The first of these is a fairy tale about a young woman who cannot speak, while the second tells of the authorโs awkward coming of age within the shadows of a disintegrating Hollywood neighborhood. But it is when these two narratives prove themselves inescapably linked that the novel takes its most affecting turn. โTell me the story of your life,โโ the authorโs daughter asks, and so the author does, with both hilarious and heartbreaking repercussions. โFinally,โ the author writes, โI am famous.โโ
โMichelle Hoover, author of The Quickening
โItโs two, two, two tales in one. On your left, a deftly told Early Modern horsey fantasy; on your right, an aching memoir of the authorial teenage Ren Faire trauma that begat the tale. Rosenberg LaForge has crafted a quirky and compelling new class of literary mashup.โ

โRosenberg LaForge lays out her dreams and desires in this tender and heartbreakingly candid reinvention of memory. An Unsuitable Princess is an entirely original look at life, personal history, and oneโs original hopes.โ โKate Southwood, author of Falling to Earth
