‘I saw the strangest sight tonight.’
New Bohemia. America. A storm. A black man finds a white baby abandoned in the night. He gathers her up – light as a star – and decides to take her home.
London. England. After the financial crash. Leo Kaiser knows how to make money but he doesn’t know how to manage the jealousy he feels towards his best friend and his wife. Is the newborn baby even his?
New Bohemia. 17 years later. A boy and a girl are falling in love but there’s a lot they don’t know about who they are and where they come from.
Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of the original but tells a contemporary story where Time itself is a player in a game of high stakes that will either end in tragedy or forgiveness. It shows us that however far we have been separated, whatever is lost shall be found.

Recensione:
"Clever and beautiful...it soars" (Financial Times)
"Emotionally wrought and profoundly intelligent it will pull you into its troubled, wise world of jealousy, paranoia, grief, revenge and forgiveness in some of the most stunning prose you’ll read this year ... Winterson masterfully interweaves layers of narrative and themes so that reading the novel is like listening to a Bach prelude and fugue ... A supremely clever, compelling and emotionally affecting novel that deserves multiple readings to appreciate its many layers." (Hannah Beckerman Mail on Sunday)
"One of the most gifted writers working today... A shining delight of a novel... Winterson's great gift is in capturing the emotional heft of her stories with sentences that hum along, beautiful, unexpected and swift. Winterson wrestles wonderfully with a perplexing text and emerges with a complicated, satisfying and contemporary tale that stands wholly on its own." (New York Times)
"A book of considerable beauty... Winterson’s fiction is a fine invitation into this deeply Shakespearean vision of imagination as the best kind of truth-telling" (Rowan Williams New Statesman)
"There are passages here so concisely beautiful they give you goosebumps" (Observer)
"Smart and witty... Compelling, entertaining and elegant" (Sarah Crown Guardian)
"A deeply felt, emotionally intelligent and serious novel, which resists easy answers and yet expresses the hope that human beings can muddle through, and that bad pasts can have good outcomes... Pulsates with such authenticity and imaginative generosity that I defy you not to engage with it." (Andrew Dickson Independent)
"Winterson is faithful to both the narrative and the spirit of the play, while transposing it to an utterly different and modern setting... There is lightness here, in the frisky prose and the author’s delight in invention, but you are never free of the awareness of dark shadows where danger and corruption lie in wait." (Allan Massie Scotsman)
"The intricacy with which Winterson has plotted her novel against each Shakespearean detail will delight readers familiar with the original ... it’s part of a vision of a world in which past, present, and future are lived simultaneously, original and adaptation existing in the same moment." (The Times)
"Engrossing, almost soapily addictive" (Independent)
