Rezensionen

'The importance of stories, the urge to create ourselves through stories, is one of Winterson's abiding themes, along with the supremacy, the redemptive power of love.' Daily Telegraph

'A marvelously skilful juggling act of ideas and emotion ... Winterson's prodigious talent brings the book alive.' Evening Standard

'The power of Lighthousekeeping is in ... the pared-down precision of its language, each word smoothed into a finely polished pebble.' Observer
