Enter a world where time bends, history reshapes itself, and stories refuse to follow the rules in Sexing the Cherry by Jeanette Winterson.

Set in 17th-century England during the Civil War and shifting into modern times, the novel follows two unforgettable characters: Dog Woman, a fierce and larger-than-life figure, and her adopted son Jordan, a dreamer and adventurer searching for love and identity.
