Items related to The Stone Gods
On the airwaves, all the talk is of the new blue planet – pristine and habitable, like our own 65 million years ago, before we took it to the edge of destruction. And off the air, Billie and Spike are falling in love. What will happen when their story combines with the world’s story, as they whirl towards Planet Blue, into the future? Will they – and we – ever find a safe landing place?

Review:
The Stone Gods is as full of ideas as a Catherine wheel is of sparks, emitting notions, quibbles, quirks, fantasies, glittering fragments of invention that fizz and pop as they fly into the darkness (Sunday Telegraph)
Playful but impassioned... Winterson cloaks her disillusionment with out political excesses in a sustained imaginative jeu d'esprit. Her writing is funny and beautiful (The Times)
This witty, challenging and thought-provoking novel should be essential reading for anyone concerned with how we live and how we might survive (Daily Mail)
