Lyrical prose, very atmospheric with two very different characters who manage to intersect and how they respond to love and passion I'm their lives. Some of the metaphors are a little two on the nose, gambling or Villanelle stealing her heart from her old lover's house, but overall delightful. This was recommended to me by storygraph's algorithm so kudos to that

Digital edition has moderate formatting errors.
🤔 Can't tell if comma/punctuation placement is deliberate, but messed up in formatting or if they're just typos too.
This is my first of Jeanette Winterson's & I'm excited to dive deeper.
If you liked Kawaguchi's Before the Coffee Gets Cold (1) you'll like Winterson's style
