- Synopsis
- With the same attention to the intricacies of love and language that has distinguished her body of work so far, Jeanette Winterson's The PowerBook unleashes a swirling narrative that uses timeless tales of passion as a springboard for a meditation on love and desire in the age of the Internet. Ali writes stories on e-mail for anyone who wants them. And while she promises freedom from who you are-"freedom just for one night"-she does not do so without a warning: the story might change you. Ask for an epic love story and you will get one, but Ali will be cast in it, too, and the lines between the real and the imagined may blur. Plucking characters from history and myth, as well as her imagination, Ali journeys through time and makes stops in London, Paris, and Capri, all the while weaving stories that question the boundaries of cyberspace, the human heart, and the novel. In The PowerBook Winterson has found a brilliant conceit through which to showcase her increasingly bold, and utterly unique, voice. From the Book Jacket
