Celebrated as a modern classic of fantasy, Wicked by Gregory Maguire reimagines The Wizard of Oz through the eyes of the Wicked Witch of the West. More than a simple fairy tale, this novel explores the complexities of morality and the line between good and evil.
Elphaba, born with green skin and remarkable magical abilities, grows up as an outsider in Munchkinland. It’s not until she attends the University in the Emerald City that she begins to feel a sense of belonging. While sharpening her skills, she uncovers Oz’s hidden injustices and takes a stand for its marginalized inhabitants, earning her infamous title as the Wicked Witch.
Narrated by John McDonough, this audiobook transports listeners into Maguire’s richly imagined world, where witches and talking animals come to life in a land beyond the rainbow.
Ohhh how I wish I had the idea to start the Wicked audiobook at the beginning of the month so I could have finished it before the movie on Thursday 😭
