A review by oxnard_montalvo
The Passion by Jeanette Winterson
5.0
It's lavish and over the top; a good story sensuously told. What I took away from this was setting, a sense of place. Despite a story that reads like you've been dreaming, Venice is solid and believable. Sure it has that tinge of fantasy, but nothing so overly whimsical to irritate.
I've got a complicated relationship with this author. I hated Oranges aren't the Only Fruit, but loved this book. I like this balance- hating and loving her- and I'm hesitant to read another of her novels, afraid to tip the scales to much in either direction.
(2021 reread: I need to read more of her books)
