Just when it looked like the Fifty Shades of Grey saga might be over, E.L. James has announced a new novel set in the Fifty Shades-iverse: Grey.
Well, "new" might be a little too generous. Grey isn't writing a sequel about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele starting a loving family together, or a prequel about Christian Grey's life as a young S&M enthusiast. It's a full retelling of the original novel — but from Christian's perspective instead of Anastasia's. "Christian is a complex character and readers have always been fascinated by his desires and motivations, and his troubled past," said James in a statement. "Also, as anyone who has ever been in a relationship knows, there are two sides to every story."
