Like all Winterson novels (Sexing the Cherry, The Passion), this ambiguous love story is a philosophical meditation, this time on the body: the body as physical phenomenon, and the body as repository of our emotions and souls. The object is a married woman named Louise, and the narrator is her lover, gender undeclared, who reveals the topography of desire for readers. Excerpted in Granta.
