The Crimson Thread by Suzanne Weyn

Weyn, Suzanne. The Crimson Thread: A Retelling of "Rumpelstiltskin." New York: Simon Pulse, 2008.

Weyn takes a classic fairy tale and gives it new life. The characters are not peasants but Irish immigrants. The setting is 1880s New York City.

Bridget finds herself torn between two men: the suave son of a rich man and the mysterious and magical Ray.

If you thought Rumpelstiltskin was about babies, you had it wrong. This story is about love.
