Lighthousekeeping

Lighthousekeeping by Jeanette Winterson
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

A story about storytellers telling stories about stories... I found this short book unfortunately too self-conscious, too carefully academic, too much trying too hard. I wanted to lose myself in the world of Winterson, but this book felt too shallow to dive into.

I don't have any specific complaints, but nothing here evoked much feeling for me. The great number of mostly-blank pages seemed a bit of a waste, too.

Hoping my next Winterson is more lively! I still think she's absolutely amazing as an author. Suggestions?
