Seller's Description:
Fair. This copy has clearly been enjoyed-expect noticeable shelf wear and some minor creases to the cover. Binding is strong and all pages are legible. May contain previous library markings or stamps.
This book had me chuckling out loud on so many occasions, her attention to detail in this portrayal of a strict religious upbringing and coming of age/self discovery journey brings the place and characters alive. Wintersons plays with the use of allegorical fantasy - this didn't work so well for me, but she has used it to better effect in subsequent stories. A great read.

Good Book
I really enjoyed this book. It is stylistically and thematically complex and interesting, and is a good addition to any library.
