The Gap of Time by Jeanette Winterson

4.0

I love Jeanette Winterson's writing and Shakespeare's stories so I was obviously excited about this tale. I have to re-read the winter's tale so I can see what parts of the story were reinterpreted differently. I was disappointed with the audio version. I found the depiction of three characters quite racist as they had been raised in the United States from birth but had Chinese accents because they had been born there. I didn't like the voices chosen for the characters either. This might have been a better text read. I was also wondering why one of the characters was constantly referred to as Jewish. I understand that that was probably part of the original story but didn't need to be so constantly reiterated. Winterson's beautiful prose is still present and part one especially is told with her usual magic.
