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

When thinking back on this book, I am not quite sure why I liked it so much I did. I think that the historical context of Napoleonic wars, multiple points of view coming together paired with some magical realism and a bittersweet ending had an effect on me that I wont forget for a while.
