What a strange world this is when you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. Jeanette Winterson
She hated being a nobody and like all children, adopted or not, I have had to live out some of her unlived life. We do that for our parents - we don't really have any choice. Jeanette Winterson
I don't read reviews because by then it's too late - whatever anyone says, the book won't change. It is written. Jeanette Winterson
My mother has often been labelled as strange but that's because she says things that people can't possibly believe. Mostly she's right. Jeanette Winterson
