Retellings of the Bluebeard legend

different literary adaptations of Bluebeard I could find (plus the original). other recommendations welcome!

Novels whose main characters are artists, recommended by Pagebound users. Recommendations are always welcome; the only rules are that the main character must be an artist of some form (be it a painter, writer, actor, musician, dancer, or even a chef) and that their art must play a key role in the plot. If you're looking for YA or middle grade novels about artists, please check out the "Aspiring Artists" list on my profile.

Books about worlds similar to ours and how the characters hold onto hope and overcome in order to build a better future.
