Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })A novel by Gregory Maguire (also known for Wicked and Mirror, Mirror) and, later, a direct-to-TV movie, Confessions of an Ugly Sister is a revisionist rewriting of the story of Cinderella, focusing on the point of view of Iris and how she became the stepsister of the mysteriously beautiful Clara.Taking place in 17th century Holland, Iris, her mentally challenged sister Ruth, and her mother flee an angry mob and start a new life with nothing but a determination to get a better life.Iris sees the world through fanciful eyes, and still believes in fairy tales, causing her to question whether her new stepsister's beauty and grace may be supernatural.

Bittersweet Ending: Despite everything, no one's ending is truly happy or sad. Iris marries Caspar and becomes a painter, but dies relatively early in life. Clara and the prince also die young-ish, but leave a legacy for the Fishers and Cornelius. Ruth is provided for by Caspar and Iris while the latter is still alive. Margarethe is still alive at the end, but has gone blind. The Master never achieves fame and never loses his reputation.

Cinderella Circumstances: Though Clara's toiling in the ashes and dressing in rags was more out of being a brat than anything. Margaret pressures Iris to try and win over the prince at the ball instead of Clara because she knows Clara would leave her step-family to rot in poverty.

Adaptational Attractiveness: Iris is repeatedly described as painfully plain faced, but is played by a genuinely lovely looking girl in the movie.
