Gut Symmetries - by Jeanette Winterson

 This was a very unusual book. Initially, I felt that it was very word - going on and on about details, but I gradually understood that this was a way to convey a detailed idea of the feelings of the characters as well as the events of the story. The story itself, whilst somewhat unlikely and a little surreal, was basically quite simple. The richness of the book came form the details: the back story of the characters, the details of their parents and childhood etc. Eventually, I started enjoying the rich language; it was like rich food, which can be indigestible if you’re not used to it.
