Helpful Score: 2

Of course Winterson has been hailed with prize after prize, and also an OBE, for her writing. Here is an autobiography that will amuse and fascinate in that deep resonating way that few authors have (Nic Pizzolatto is another) of slipping us noiselessly into the narrative where we remain until the end. Her youth as the daughter of evangelists is fraught with both tension and light hearted forays into the lives of the characters that surrounded her fervor and final alienation. Winterson is nothing short of brilliant.
