A review by sidharthvardhan
The Passion by Jeanette Winterson

4.0

A but fragmentary but I love the way she writes. There is a bit of youthfulness in the selection and treatment of a theme that might make it seem kitsch to readers who have read a lot. But really it was really one of the very first works. And I personally admired the presentation of Napolean. If you are into love poems, you will probably like it too. There are lots of quotes I gathered but gonna leave with just one:

"I say I'm in love with her, what does that mean?

It means I review my future and my past in the light of this feeling. It is as though I wrote in a foreign language that I am suddenly able to read. Wordlessly she explains me to myself; like genius she is ignorant of what she does."

Okay two:

I asked him why he was a priest, and he said if you have to work for anybody an absentee boss is best.

Well three and I stop:

She had made him possible. In that sense she was his god.

Like God, she was neglected.

Screw it.

When she hears a boat go by her head pokes out of her nook and she asks you what time of day it might be. Never what time it is; she's too much of a philosopher for that.
