Brand: Hogarth Press
Product Description
The Winters Tale is one of Shakespeares late plays. It tells the story of a king whose jealousy results in the banishment of his baby daughter and the death of his beautiful wife. His daughter is found and brought up by a shepherd on the Bohemian coast but through a series of extraordinary events father and daughter and eventually mother too are reunited. In The Gap of Time Jeanette Wintersons cover version of The Winters Tale we move from London a city reeling after the 2008 financial crisis to a stormravaged American city called New Bohemia. Her story is one of childhood friendship money status technology and the elliptical nature of time. Written with energy and wit this is a story of the consuming power of jealousy on the one hand and redemption and the enduring love of a lost child on the other. show more
