The most beguilingly seductive novel to date from Jeanette Winterson chronicles the consuming affair between the narrator, who is given neither name nor gender and the beloved, a complex and confused married woman. “At once a love story and a philosophical meditation.” - New York Times Book Review

"The best evidence yet to [support] Gore Vidal's oft-quoted declaration that Winterson is 'the most interesting young writer I have read in twenty years'. She has once again proved to be a storyteller of compelling interest and exceptional grace."  -  The Atlantic

Written On The Body is a secret code only visible in certain lights: the accumulation of a lifetime gathers there. In places, the palimpsest is so heavily worked that the letters feel like braille. I like to keep my body rolled away from prying eyes, never unfold too much, and tell the whole story. I didn't know that Louise would have reading hands. She has translated me into her own book.

"An ambitious work, at once a love story and a philosophical meditation...a work that is consistently revelatory about the phenomenon of love. Winterson has been compared to an unlikely pantheon of literary figures from Flannery O'Connor to Gabriel García Márquez... The hyperbole seems not only imprecise; it obscures the originality of her voice, her distinctive mix of romanticism and irony, erudition and passion."  -  The New York Times Book Review
