I am very impressed with this book. Winterson describes very well how someone feels when she does not grow up in the right environment, she does not get love and she questions her origin. And how she, very powerfully, makes sure she finds her own path.
And the language is so beautiful. You can read sentences over and over again.

Great read.

Zo'n goed boek. Afwisselend huilen, lachen en nadenken. Je wordt een beetje verliefd op haar of soms haar vader
Zo zichzelf, zo prachtig geschreven en steeds in nauw contact met jou, de lezer.

Wonderful book, beautiful written and with deep thoughts.
