When you buy a book because of its remote connection to Frankenstein, and realize it might turn out transphobic 😕🥺

Finished #reading the fascinating #novella #TheDaylighGate, #author #JeanetteWinterson's retelling of the #PendleWitchTrials of 1612 in England, when 12 men + women were charged with the murders of 10 people by the use of #witchcraft. Winterson reimagines this world adding passion + magic to the sad + tragic events of that time.
Statue is #AliceNutter, the central character in Winterson's story

This short epic once again confirmed that historical fiction, bigger half being “fiction” and the smaller half “historical”, is my favourite genre. Add a pinch of magical realism and I am hooked.
Such beautiful storytelling, like 1001 Nights set in Europe.
Someone across me on the overground is reading Jeanette Winterson’s “Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit”. I naively get filled with hope for the future whenever I see someone reading a great book.
