The Gap of Time: The Winter's Tale Retold

Jeanette Winterson's cover version of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale, The Gap of Time vibrates with echoes of the original, but tells a contemporary story where Time itself is a player in a game of high stakes that will either end in tragedy or forgiveness, showing its readers that however far separated, whatever is lost shall be found.

Written with energy and wit, The Gap of Time 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.

“Winterson is incapable of being dull, and The Gap of Time is a fitting addition to her uniquely inventive catalogue.” -- Irish Independent
