I haven't finished it
yet, I am on my way! There this whole part where Jeannette was hallucinating
seeing demons of different color including orange... I didn't quite get that.
Was she inventing those things as a way to cope with what was happening to her
or did they drug her? I mean they mention that they offered her a beverage when
the pastor was home telling what the mother should do so she can repent
herself. This novel definitely has a different style or approach comparatively
to Gaddis' novel. Jeanette missed the occasion to see her biological mother.
It's only by reading more pages that we can see her disappointment when she
found the adoption papers. At first I thought Jeanette didn't really care by
her way of making humor only saying she would not play card since looking for
the cards made her found the papers. I was expecting a direct confrontation
with her adoptive mother but there wasn't at that moment. Winterson cut the
pieces of the story and reveled later on the intensity of her
discomfort knowing that she has been adopted and it starts to draw our
curiosity to know how it happened if her mother is still alive and wants her
back.
