The Powerbook Reviews

"Winterson is a rangy pirate, a world-swashbuckler, a plunderer of stories, literatures and hearts" -- Ali Smith Scotsman "Gorgeously written, shockingly moving...a wonderful, unforgettable read. Buy it for someone you really love" -- Simon Schama Mail on Sunday "Winterson writes with evangelical assurance, vaulting ambition, total control...witty, original, and good at what she does" Observer "Mischievous and intelligent, determined to provoke thoughts about love's reason, and its risk" The Times "Brilliant, evocative writing... Winterson never seems to put a foot wrong... It is funny, clever, entertaining and wholly delightful" Spectator
