More Description"I saw the strangest sight tonight. New Bohemia. America. A storm. A black man finds a white baby abandoned in the night. He gathers her up light as a star and decides to take her home. London. England. After 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. Is the newborn baby even his? New Bohemia. 17 years later. A boy and a girl are falling 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 Talevibrates with echoes of the original but tells a contemporary story where Time itself is a player in a game of high stakes that will either end in tragedy or forgiveness. It shows us that however far we have been separated, whatever is lost shall be found."
