Author(s): Jeanette Winterson

Fiction

Hamish Hamilton are delighted to welcome Jeanette Winterson to the list with her superb new novel, The Stone Gods.

All the talk is of the new blue planet . . .

This new world weighs a yatto-gram. But everything is trial-size; tread-on-me-tiny or blurred-out-of-focus huge. There are leaves that have grown as big as cities, and there are birds that nest in cockleshells. On the white sand there are long-toed claw prints deep as nightmares, and there are rock pools in hand-hollows finned by fish . . .
