Review:
Playful, expansive and full of heart * * The Times * * A touching meditation on the difficult journey to self-knowledge, and also extremely funny, communicating verve and wit * * Guardian * * Profound and provocative * * Daily Mail * * Inspired by a Titan, [Winterson] begins appropriately on a titanic scale . . . bringing her musings home to the human scale * * Sunday Times * * Winterson's embrace of the mythic landscape is evident in her rich imagery . . . Dazzling * * New York Times * * A masterpiece * * Scotland on Sunday * * Alternatively earthy and mythopoetic, funny, meditative and personal . . . Winterson artfully illustrates the interplay of free will and destiny, desire and responsibility * * Independent on Sunday * * Weight is a masterpiece . . . Rewrites and reconfirms what fiction is, was, and might become * * Scotland on Sunday * * Transcendent . . . It's not the weight of her intellect that strikes you but its lightness, an unembarrassed vigour that seems to lead it along a tightrope of sanity * * Herald * * Winterson's precise prose explores issues of loneliness, responsibility and freedom with clarity and vision, offering the gift of seeing things afresh * * The Good Book Guide * *
