Tanglewreck | Jeanette Winterson
3 posts | 5 read | 1 reading | 2 to read
But Time is big business, and whoever gets control of Time controls life as we know it! In a house called Tanglewreck lives a girl called Silver and her guardian Mrs Rokabye. Unbeknown to Silver there is a family treasure in the form of a seventeenth-century watch called the Timekeeper, and this treasure holds the key to the mysterious and frightening changes in time. When Silver goes on the run to try and protect herself and the Timekeeper, a remarkable and compelling adventure unfolds, full of brilliance and wit, as is befitting an author with the imagination and style of Jeanette Winterson.

I was running out of space and needed to clear out the book shelves of fiction. Here's the pile in total; the Swedish ones are going to the library at the Swedish Club. Don't hate any of them (exce TGiT) , but don't see myself rereading them either (or reading, in the case of Himmelstrand.)

"I am sure you do know the answer," said Mrs Rockabye. "All questions have an answer."

Silver wondered if that was true, but there was no point in asking Mrs Rockabye. Privately, Silver thought that the answer to some questions was another question.
