Produktbeschreibung

'A book of innocence and bawdiness, fury and joy...needs to be read and re-read' The Times

On the banks of the Thames a baby is found floating. Rescued by the Dog-Woman, a giant strong enough to fling an elephant into the air, their lives together will take them on a dizzying journey through space and time.

As past and present collapse and centuries overlap, love, sex, truth, lies and twelve dancing princesses take centre stage.

'Entrancing...fabulous... Its language retains the clear music of poetry' Sunday Telegraph

'Simple prose shows the subtlest of minds behind it, swift, confident and dazzling' Financial Times

'Her stories and characters levitate off the page into dancing life... A bold, bizarre and timely book' Independent

Autorenporträt

Jeanette Winterson CBE was born in Manchester. Adopted by Pentecostal parents she was raised to be a missionary. This did and didn't work out. Discovering early the power of books she left home at sixteen to live in a Mini and get on with her education. After graduating from Oxford University she worked for a while in the theatre and published her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, at twenty-five. Over two decades later she revisited that material in her internationally bestselling memoir Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? Winterson has written thirteen novels for adults and two previous collections of short stories, as well as children's books, non-fiction and screenplays. She is Professor of New Writing at the University of Manchester. She lives in the Cotswolds in a wood and in Spitalfields, London.
