Jeanette Winterson's novels have established her as one of the most
important young writers in world literature. The Passion is perhaps
her most highly acclaimed work, a modern classic that confirms her
special claim on the novel. Set during the tumultuous years of the
Napoleonic Wars, The Passion intertwines the destinies of two
remarkable people: Henri, a simple French soldier, who follows
Napoleon from glory to Russian ruin; and Villanelle, the
red-haired, web-footed daughter of a Venetian boatman, whose
husband has gambled away her heart. In Venice's compound of
carnival, chance, and darkness, the pair meet their singular
destiny. In her unique and mesmerizing voice, Winterson blends
reality with fantasy, dream, and imagination to weave a hypnotic
tale with stunning effects.
