Beautiful and wonderful. I can't explain how much I can adore Jeanette Winterson and the magical power of words she somehow sprinkles all over her works. I'm in love.

I love a Winter’s Tale & I love Winterson. I just didn’t love this book, mainly because of Leo. Leontes in WT didn’t strike me as universally unlivable from youth through the jealous horrors he inflicted on his family, friends & kingdom. But here he is, and others devotion to him rings false. I loved the 2nd half where the focus goes to Perdita & Zel.

I did not realise this was a retelling of a Winter's Tale, but I was not familiar with that play anyway. I enjoyed it for its own sake. The characters of Perdita, Clo and their father as well as Pauline were especially enjoyable. I got a bit lost with the video game parts, but maybe that related to the imagery of the play. Really enjoyed the pace and the writing style.
