All is fair in love and war, and The Passion shines a light on how both of those things can impact a person’s life. The story in itself didn’t do all that much for me, but this book is extremely well written and there are certainly many lessons/quotes to ponder upon. I’ll gladly read more by Jeanette Winterson.
