The Gap Of Time Av Jeanette Winterson

<p><b>‘A shining delight of a novel’</b><br><i><b>New York Times </b></i><br><br><b>'Clever and beautiful...it soars'</b><br><b><i>Financial Times</i><br></b> <br>A baby girl is abandoned, banished from London to the storm-ravaged American city of New Bohemia. Her father has been driven mad by jealousy, her mother to exile by grief. <br><br>Seventeen years later, Perdita doesn't know a lot about who she is or where she's come from - but she's about to find out. <br><br>Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of <i>The Winter’s Tale</i> vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare's original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found.<br><br><b>‘Emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent... A supremely clever, compelling and emotionally affecting novel that deserves multiple readings to appreciate its many layers’</b><br><i><b>Mail on Sunday </b></i><br><br><b>'There are passages here so concisely beautiful they give you goosebumps'</b><br><b><i>Observer</i></b><br><br><b>'Pulsates with such authenticity and imaginative generosity that I defy you not to engage with it'</b><br><b><i>Independent</i></b></p>
