  • "Sorte de fugues à trois voix à travers trois personnages emblématiques, Handel, prêtre devenu médecin, Sapho, écrivain érotomane, Picasso, une jeune femme qui se peint le corps et tente de redonner de la couleur au monde après des amours incestueux, ce récit comportant nombre de citations (Platon, Pascal), est un texte complexe, dérivant jusqu'au poème."
  • "The novel brings together three apparently disparate figures on a single day in a single place - a high-speed train hurtling through the present or near-future (though the book itself ranges freely over the centuries). Handel is an ex-priest turned surgeon, a man whose humanity has been sacrificed to intellect. Picasso, a young woman cast out by the family that drove her to madness, is comforted only by her painting. And Sappho is the famed lesbian poet of antiquity, as alive as her immortal verse. Each is at once beguilingly symbolic and painfully real, alienated from a brutal technological world and united by Winterson's narrative, which directs them together towards a single end of satisfying inevitability."
  • "Een ex-priester en nu chirurg, een artieste die jarenlang door haar broer is misbruikt en Sappho, de Griekse dichteres uit de 7e eeuw v.Chr. vertellen in fragmenten hun verhaal, onderbroken door commentaren van een prostituée."
