Jeanette Winterson
The most beguilingly seductive novel to date from the author of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. Winterson chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator, who is given neither name nor gender, and the beloved, a complex and confused married woman. “At once a love story and a philosophical meditation.” —New York Times Book Review.

"This IS a must-read. Do not question it. Light a candle, grab your comfy clothes, pull up the blanket. This book rents space in my cranium for free. And forever "

"I definitely think it’s worth it! I’ve bought multiple copies over the years to give away. So beautifully written. I first read it back in 1997 or so and usually reread it every few years - I’m due! I’ve read other books by Jeanette Winterson and while they’re good, this one is the best in my opinion. I hope you enjoy it if you choose to read it - let me know! "
