I picked up a copy from the 'free' book truck at the branch library with the intention of taking it to the shelf at the old soldiers' home, but did not care for it much.
It is about an English girl who is very active in her parish and the chapter I read on the bus does have its moments, but I liked the chapter I read from Lillian Hellman's 1974 'Pentimento' obtained at the same time. I read 'Bethe' and it is also quite literary but I enjoyed it more. The book collects Ms. Hellman's essays centered around various uncommon people she has known.
Although both books seem to have been unread until I picked them up, I would imagine Ms. Winterson's 1985 book is much more honored by English majors.
