The Stone Gods Summary

The Stone Gods by Jeanette Winterson

Hamish Hamilton are delighted to welcome Jeanette Winterson, one of our very favourite authors, to the list with her superb new novel, The Stone Gods. All the talk is of the new blue planet... This new world weighs a yatto-gram. But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me-tiny or blurred-out-of-focus huge. There are leaves that have grown as big as cities, and there are birds that nest in cockleshells. On the white sand there are long-toed claw prints deep as nightmares, and there are rock pools in hand-hollows finned by fish...

The Stone Gods Reviews

Like Scheherazade, Ms. Winterson possesses an ability to dazzle the reader by creating wondrous worlds in which the usual laws of plausibility are suspended. She possesses the ability to combine the biting satire of Swift with the ethereal magic of Garcia Marquez, the ability to reinvent old myths even as she creates new ones of her own -- Michiko Kakutani * The New York Times Book Review *
She is a kind of magician. She can do anything -- Ali Smith * The Scotsman *
