A review by persephonora
The Passion by Jeanette Winterson

1.0

I know people love this book, but it really fell flat for me. There were some funny moments, particularly satirizing Napoleon and his cult-of-personality, but mostly it felt trite. There were lots of cliche one-liners – like one about how snowflakes are all unique – that were repeated so many times throughout the book (ostensibly to give them weight?), but in the end it just felt like a cheap way of trying to artificially create depth that wasn't there.
