Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?

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.

It took a while to get into, but by the end I was completely entranced.

Astonishing, unforgettable book. I don't have the words to describe it. Jeanette does though, and she really knows how to use them.
