Review
'The importance of stories, the urge to create ourselves through stories, is one of Winterson's abiding themes, along with the supremacy, the redemptive power of love.' Daily Telegraph 'A marvelously skilful juggling act of ideas and emotion ... Winterson's prodigious talent brings the book alive.' Evening Standard 'The power of Lighthousekeeping is in ... the pared-down precision of its language, each word smoothed into a finely polished pebble.' Observer

Taking to the meet up.
I picked this up at the Leighton Buzzard meet today. Looks really interesting so couldn't resist bringing it back home :-)
I really enjoyed this book, although the time switching was a little confusing at times. The main character Silver is brilliant! Really funny. The descriptions of Pew, Babel etc.. are excellent. I've never read anything by Jeanette Winterson but I was so impressed by her writing style so I will read more of her in the future, definitely.

There weren't enough of us with wrapped books to do a swap, so Beqi added this to the general pile - and I snaffled it because I think I know someone who may like it.
