Jeanette Winterson returns to a difficult childhood home and the literature that helped open a way out.
The memoir connects the struggle for self-determination with the act of telling one's own story. Choose this if you value a personal account that leaves room for anger, attachment and contradiction. Books enter the story as encounters capable of widening a life, rather than merely decorating it.
WHO IS IT FOR?
For readers interested in reported lives, ideas and the forces shaping contemporary experience.
