Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
She was ugly, vulgar, and huge. No one wanted to stay with her for a second, except for her group of equally fierce but extremely loyal dogs. Until one day, by chance, she picked up a A foundling, and named him after a river, a name that was free from restraint, Jordan.
The river is his name, and the river is also his destiny. In a simple and stable life, he gradually realized the mystery of sailing and began to yearn for the world on the other side of the river. At the age of 19, he followed the king's gardener to Wimbledon, embarking on a complicated and wonderful journey, witnessing the fantastic scenes in the parallel world: love is a plague sweeping the village, the princess does not love the prince, and words fly upwards and turn into dense clouds... In the fairy-tale adventure, he experienced unprecedented possibilities.
In this bold, strange, novel and interesting book, Winterson takes us to feel love and family affection, see history and truth, and finally find the mirror that reflects ourselves.

She was ugly, coarse, and huge, and no one wanted to stay with her for a second, except for her equally fierce but extremely loyal dogs. Until one day, by chance, she picked up an abandoned child by the stinking Thames River and named him after a river, a name that was free from restraint, Jordan.
The river is his name, and the river is also his destiny. In a simple and stable life, he gradually realized the mystery of sailing and began to yearn for the world on the other side of the river.
