Winterson has the ability to weave a tapestry of ideas across time and distance wo suffering from an overload of plot points. I'm not sure how she does it but I'm in awe. In the case of this narrative, though the ideas were largely abstract, somehow they took on an emotional weight, which built steadily, so that by the end of the novel I was altered - mostly depressed and sad, honestly.

This book has such a provocative concept it is carried along solely by the power of its ideas in context. I'm not sure it would withstand multiple readings but it's probably well worth finding out.
