Book Review

27 November 2009, Review by Sue Gaisford

Midsummer Nights

Jeanette Winterson
Quercus, £18.99
Tablet bookshop price £17.10 Tel 01420 592974

Jeanette Winterson cajoled the cream of her contemporaries into contributing original stories, loosely - very loosely, sometimes - based on the plots of grand operas. The result is Midsummer Nights the strongest and wittiest anthology of short fiction to appear for years: a superior selection box of irresistible delights.
