I had to read it for my college "Introduction to English Literature" class and it was interesting, to say the least. Lots of symbolism and technique to unpack, but it was really confusing. I would've never picked it up for fun or light reading.

Beautifully written.

A little weird, but I enjoyed it.

Meditations on love, gender, and place. Winterson's odd characters are metaphors in movement. Tatters of fairy tales and old wives tales woven into a tapestry of a story about sex, death, freedom, and fantasy.
