Gap of Time

Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale is reimagined in Jeanette Winterson`s page-turning story of a girl banished from home as a baby. How will things turn out this time? A baby girl is abandoned, banished from London to the storm-ravaged American city of New Bohemia. Her father has been driven mad by jealousy, her mother to exile by grief. Seventeen years later, Perdita doesn`t know a lot about who she is or where she`s come from – but she`s about to find out. Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Tale vibrates with echoes of Shakespeare`s original and tells a story of hearts broken and hearts healed, a story of revenge and forgiveness, a story that shows that whatever is lost shall be found.
