I found myself enthralled by fantasies of the Snowmama, trapped souls, and malevolent kings. The stories, while they still feel classic and familiar, resound with Winterson’s voice: comedic, blunt, and shockingly imaginative.Īlthough the book is written to be read over the course of 12 days, I couldn’t resist finishing it in four. Winterson’s tales are sexy, spooky, and unexpected, but are still laced with Christmas magic. Nestled between these stories are recipes from the Christmas and New Year traditions of her family and friends, accompanied by personal accounts and anecdotes of years past. Her newest bo ok, Christmas Days: 12 Stories and 12 Feasts for 12 Days, compiles these into a delightful collection of short stories just in time for the holiday season.
Every year, British author Jeanette Winterson sits down to pen a new Christmas story, one of many traditions that she observes for a holiday so dear to her.
