Christmas days jeanette winterson review5/19/2023 ![]() ![]() I had put my Christmas cake in the oven, was feeling comfortable and settled and picked up this book. Well, I read them alone, in the warm with a candle or two burning. Enjoy the season of peace and goodwill, mystery and a little bit of magic" ![]() ![]() I can do no better than quote from the blurb inside the book: "Everybody loves a Christmas story.read these stories by the fire, in the snow, travelling home for the holidays, give them to friends, wrap them up for someone you love, read them aloud, read them alone, read them together. There is a lot of background on her childhood, which I had read about, and which sounded unremittingly awful though one senses from certain remarks in this book that she reached acceptance and forgiveness with her parents. It is a delightful mixture of stories, recipes and chat about friends at Christmas time. What I got was total and utter beguilement and enjoyment. So when this title, Christmas Days 12 stories and 12 Feasts for 12 Days, dropped through my letterbox I was not sure what to expect. My knowledge of Jeanette Winterson is limited to the title of her book Oranges are not the Only Fruit which I have to admit I have never read. ![]()
