Stone Gods (English)

In her flirting-with-genre novel, THE STONE GODS, award-winning writer Jeannette Winterson spins a love story amidst a cautionary tale of environmental stewardship. Set (for the most part) in a plausible future, three of the four parts of this novel revolve around a planet that, like ours, is suffering from over-use; one section, however, veers off to visit historic Easter Island. THE STONE GODS' central character is Billie Crusoe, a scientist (except when he's a boatman), and his presence provides a breadcrumb trail through the beautifully poetic forest of Winterson's nonlinear storytelling. minimize
