Gap of time

THE GAP OF TIME is Jeanette Winterson’s wonderful retelling of THE WINTER’S TALE. It launches the Hogarth Shakespeare series – adaptations of Shakespeare’s works written by a wide range of authors including Howard Jacobson, Margaret Atwood, Anne Tyler, Jo Nesbo and Gillian Flynn. Winterson’s modern retelling is a tale of childhood friendship, money, status and the elliptical nature of time.
