A review by madelinepuckett
Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson
Per my 2013 reading:
"Dreamlike - she jumps between two main narrators in 17th c. England during Cromwell's reign. She also flows between historical and fantasy, weaving fairy tale elements into reflective narratives. One line that stood out to me:
'Are we all living like this? Two lives, the ideal outer life and the inner imaginative life where we keep our secrets?' (115)
That especially stood out to me because it's how I often feel."
