X Factor - making the song their own?
Not just an M&S ad - it's a sexist ad?
Wotsits or wine - home delivery substitutes?
Corsa? Yaris? - car-inspired baby names?
Cheesed off - with pregnancy food advice?

My most favourite book. Such an original piece of writing that details Winterson's understanding and accpetance of her sexuality as she grows up. A fairytale within a tale that is just so well written - you have to read this book!

I first read this book for my A-level English. It so skillfully describes the struggles some girls go through in understanding their sexuality and also follows her relationships with her family. One of the few books I've read several times. Fantastic...

Riveting and beautifully written largely autobiographical story of a young girl growing up and discovering her (homo)sexuality in a small Northern town in the 60s/70s.
