beccakatie 's review for:
Sexing The Cherry
by Jeanette Winterson
This book confused me slightly when it came to considering to what extent I liked it. I enjoyed each section when taken individually, particularly the stories of after the ever afters of the Dancing Princesses, and the civil war and plague. However, I struggled more with the connections between these different narratives, and felt that, at times, it became overcomplicated for the sake of being a postmodern novel.
As a feminist text I enjoyed reading the representations of men and women, including their bodies and sexualities. There is much debate to what extent this text is man-hating, and can either be read as such, or as a (potentially exaggerated, admittedly) reality of the treatment many women experience at the hands of the patriarchy.
