A review by brisingr
Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson
5.0
2nd read: 11th July - 15th July 2022
Imagine finishing a novel with: I love you. The three most difficult words in the world. But what else can I say? and expect me to survive and not be changed at an elemental level. This is my 2nd favourite book by Winterson, and in a list of read books longer than ten, it means something. Just beauty and love, love and beauty.

After over a month of obsessively thinking about this novel, I think it's time to bump up the rating.
Metaphors can feel like a hug, like a nod of understanding sometimes, and I think only Winterson would be able to pull off something like that.
