pontiki 's review for:

3.0

This happens to be the first book of Winterson's I've read, and I didn't realize it was a memoir initially. I wasn't prepared for the tragedy of her childhood, but I read on and gladly, saw her persevere and become the intelligent author and strong individual we know.

Although I don't agree with all her views on adoption, I understand them as her personal experience, and I like her style of writing and her honesty about her struggles with depression.

I'm looking forward to her fiction work, and especially some of the children's books she's written.
