Summary:
‘I saw the strangest sight tonight.’
New Bohemia. America. A storm. A black man discovers a white baby abandoned in the night. He gathers her up – light as a celebrity – and chooses to take her home.
London. England. Following the financial crash. Leo Kaiser knows how to make money but he doesn’t know how to manage the jealousy he feels towards his best friend and his wife. Can be his newborn baby even his?
New Bohemia. 17 years afterwards. A youngster and a woman are dropping in love but there’s a lot they don’t know about who they are and where they come from.
Jeanette Winterson’s cover version of The Winter’s Story vibrates with echoes of the original but tells a contemporary story where Period itself is a new player in a game of high stakes that will either end in tragedy or forgiveness. It displays us that nevertheless far we’ve been separated, whatever is lost shall be found.
