New Releases by Jeanette Winterson

Eleven-year-old Silver sets out to find the Timekeeper--a clock that controls time--and to protect it from falling into the hands of two people who want to use the device for their own nefarious ends.

Silver er 11 år og bor sammen med en humørsyk tante i et 400 år gammelt hus i Tanglewreck. Merkelige ting har begynt å skje, tidstornadoer kommer og går. Tornadoene gjør at mennesker forsvinner fra sin egen tid. De blir låst inne i fortiden, deretter i fremtiden. Tidsstormene kan kun stoppes om man finner klokken som kan kontrollere både mennesker og tiden. En gammel historie forteller at klokken skal finnes i huset hvor Silver bor. Sammen med vennen Gabriel bestemmer Silver seg for at de må løse mysteriet med klokken. Dette er en fortelling om en tidsreise, en gammel profeti, en skummel hypnose, et svart hull, en ondskapsfull kanin og to barn som beviser at ingenting er umulig bare man våger å utfordre egne krefter og har tro på seg selv. Fantasy for mellom-/ungdomstrinnet.

An enchanting modern fairytale with a very romantic twist

In the reign of Charles II, Jordan and his mother, the Dog-Woman, live on the banks of the stinking Thames, where they take in sights ranging from the first pineapple in London to Royalist heads on pikes. As a young man, Jordan leaves to travel the world, seeking wonder and knowledge, and learns that every journey conceals another within it. Sexing the Cherry celebrates the power of the imagination as it playfully juggles with our perceptions of history and reality; love and sex; lies and truths; and the twelve dancing princesses who lived happily ever after, but not with their husbands.

Een Engelse internet-auteur schrijft verhalen over o.a. haar liefde voor een getrouwde vrouw.

One of the most audacious and provocative writers on either side of the Atlantic now gives readers a dazzling, arousing, and wise improvisation on art, Eros, language, and identity. "A series of intense, artful musings that are exhilarating and visionary. . . . Unsettling yet strangely satisfying."--Newsday. "From the Trade Paperback edition.

A story of lust, the unloved and loss, Art & Lies is also a jeremiad upholding the virtues of culture against the cold numbness of modern life. Erudite, impassioned, philosophical and, above all, daring, Winterson enfolds her characters in the ageless beauty of art - with a depth of feeling every bit as dazzling as her rich prose and fierce intellect.

In ten interlocking essays, the acclaimed author of Written on the Body and Art & Lies reveals art as an active force in the world--neither elitist nor remote, available to those who want it and affecting those who don''t. Original, personal, and provocative, these essays are not so much a point of view as they are a way of life, revealing "a brilliant and deeply feeling artist at work" (San Francisco Chronicle).
