The Gap of Time: A Review: By Jeanette Winterson

This book is a beautiful re-telling of 'The Winter's Tale.' Jeanette Winterson's beautiful voice and style shine through. I adore most of her books, so I was excited to receive this.


It's raw, highly emotional, highly sexually charged. It's choppy and disjointed, full of small beautiful things, bits and pieces of words that phrases that stick out in your mind. I haven't had a lot of time to read these days, but this was a great book to read during my limited free moments. The cyclical nature of our existence, the ebb and flow of time, love and passion and desire and anger. It’s all so human and so removed from reality. It’s really, quite beautiful and brings out all the feels.


I enjoyed the 'primer' in the beginning, giving you a little bit of feedback if you happen to not be familiar with the classic Shakespeare tale. I'm interested to see where the Hogarth Shakespeare series goes, because this is a helluva start.

  1. Dear Tiffany,

    Right now, my short story is a single plankton in an ocean of sharp toothed books, but I am hoping that once you and your peers review it, it would amass to much more than that.

    My name is Vanya Ferreira and I am a new author hoping to make a long, productive career out of writing. My short story - "The Story of Lucius Cane" - was published on Amazon twelve days ago. It belongs to the dark fantasy genre and it has approximately 7,000 words.

    Here is the synopsis:

    London, 1794. Lucius Cane, a peculiar vampire, comes upon an opponent the likes of which he has never seen before - a brute with remarkable abilities. But not all is as it seems as their encounter unfolds in a manner that neither of them expected.
    If requested, I can supply the MOBI, ePUB or PDF copy of the story.

    Hoping that it will spark your interest and that is review worthy....

    Thank you very much in advance.

    Sincerely,

    Vanya
