What is The Gap of Time: William Shakespeare' The Winter's Tale Retold: A Novel (Hogarth Shakespeare) about?

A modern retelling of Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale moves from London after the 2008 financial crisis to the storm-ravaged American city of New Bohemia, in a story of the destructive effect of jealousy and the redemptive power of love."All of us have talismanic texts that we have carried around and that carry us around. I have worked with The Winter's Tale in many disguises for many years... And I love cover versions." - Jeanette Winterson The Winter's Tale is one of Shakespeare's “late plays”. It tells the story of Leontes, King of Sicily, whose insane jealousy results in the banishment of his baby daughter, Perdita, from the kingdom and then the death of his beautiful wife, Hermione. Perdita is brought up by a shepherd on the Bohemian coast, but through a series of miraculous events, father and daughter, and eventually, mother too, are reunited. "The intricacy with which Winterson has plotted her novel against each Shakespearean detail will delight readers familiar with the original ... it’s part of a vision of a world in which past, present, and future are lived simultaneously, original and adaptation existing in the same moment." - The TimesIn Jeanette Winterson's retelli
