Immerse yourself in a magical and tragic Venice, where Villanelle, born with webbed feet, works as a croupier in a casino. There, she will meet the married woman to whom she will give her heart and her future husband, a man who will sell her to Napoleon's troops. Accompanied by them, she will reach frozen Russia, where she will meet Henri, a young soldier. Jeanette Winterson weaves an ode to hedonism and passions, where the unimaginable becomes real. 'La passió' is a novel that dynamites conventions and explores the limits of imagination and sexual identity.
Jeanette Winterson is an English author. Her first book, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was a semi-autobiographical novel about a lesbian growing up in an English Pentecostal community.
