V pořadí třetí román přední současné britské prozaičky je přímo naditý podivuhodnými věcmi a ději. Splétá síť pronikavých a barvitých příběhů, které střídavě vypráví výstřední rabelaisovská obryně - Psí žena neboli Psářka - a její éterický nevlastní syn Jordán. Oba žijí na slizkém břehu Temže v Londýně 17. století. Wintersonová si však zasazením příběhu do historie pouze vytvořila jisté vakuum, v němž čtenář dojde osvobození od možných předsudků vůči dějům a postavám. Román samozřejmě vypovídá o naší době; postava Psí ženy je zrcadlem, v němž se zračí zoufalý stav světa a lidí - obryně vypráví o obecných nectnostech s ohromující otevřeností až brutalitou a často na sebe bere roli soudkyně a vykonavatelky trestu.

A week later a famous art critic is viciously murdered in a nearby house. The deaths occurred more than seventy years apart. Asked by a colleague to inspect the site of the former, forensics expert Enzo Macleod quickly finds himself embroiled in the investigation of the latter. Two extraordinary narratives are set in train - one historical, unfolding in the treacherous wartime years of Occupied France; the other contemporary, set in the autumn of 2020 as France re-enters Covid lockdown. And Enzo's investigations reveal an unexpected link between the murders - the Mona Lisa. Tasked by the exiled General Charles de Gaulle to keep the world's most famous painting out of Nazi hands after the fall of France in 1940, 28-year-old Georgette Pignal finds herself swept along by the tide...

‘From that moment onwards, the dog and I both found ourselves incapable of ever cherishing a sense of belonging.’Constantly bickering with her shallow friend Brow, beginning correspondence courses she will never finish, helping sage-like Grandpa Cloud Forest with his mystical healing and stealthily avoiding matrimony with her less-than-impressive fiancé Old Ran, Plum’s life appears to be puttering along what seems like a tediously predictable path. But when the village home she cherishes comes under threat from big city capitalists, she finds herself thrust into a series of adventures with a mercurial rogue called Chivalry.This raucous, and at times achingly poignant tale combines earthy humour, ancient wisdom and thrilling action to highlight the impact of creeping urbanisation on traditional country folk.
