Book Reviews of Written on the Body
Book Review: "written on the body," writ large on my mind
Summary: 5 Stars
i finished this book a few days ago, and still i can't get it out of my head. jeanette winterson has created a world in which love and passion and longing and despair are intensified beyond belief; they are so real that i felt as if the narrator and i were one, and i was suffering just as he/she was (such a tricky game, the guessing whether it's a man or woman). haven't we all been in love to the point where you think you'll literally overflow with joy? and haven't we all had a heartbreak that threatened our equilibrium? if you haven't, then you really should go out and do so. and if you had, read this book and you'll find all the words you ever wanted to describe those feelings.
