The Gap of Time by Jeanette Winterson
4.0

So good. Jeanette Winterson focuses on jealously by flushing out the background of the Best Friends and it makes the story deeper, sadder and heart-breaking, but it helps explain the actions hat set in motion the outcomes of the story. Set in modern day, in London and New Bohemia and with a DeLorean and a video game called "A Gap in Time, Winterson creates a plausible story to Shakespeare's tale of jealousy and forgiveness.

Only disappointment, the story just ends much the same way as the original, no hint of the future or if the past will come around again - maybe that is the point.

Deeply moving, sad and hopeful.

Trigger Warning:
Choking and Rape (pages 82-85).
