A review by jessicah95
The Gap of Time by Jeanette Winterson

2.0

Quite surprised by the amount of favourable reviews for this one. Granted, it started off really strong, and I loved the first hundred pages or so. But then it almost became a parody of itself. It seemed the actual writing style changed, the characters became less believable, and the whole thing just got a little silly? I don't know. Just want to point out that I know this is a retelling of 'The Winter's Tale', which I read before this so I could pick up on nuances Winterson included. And annoyingly, I think it was a wonderful retelling to start with - for the first third anyway. All in all, quite disappointed in this!
