She is a wonderful literary creation, one who can do terrible things and yet you still want to cheer for her. It switches between two main narrators, Dog Woman and her adoptive son Jordan, and mixes reality with dream and fairytale although there is also a linear plot weaving throughout.ĭog Woman is a force of a nature, an impossibly huge woman, violent and dangerous but with heart of gold. The book celebrates the power of the imagination. 'Sexing the Cherry' is set in the mid-seventeenth century and spans the English Civil War, the execution of Charles I(in gory detail),the rise of the Puritans, the restoration of Charles II and even touches on the Plague and Great Fire of London.
"Every journey conceals another journey within its lines: the path not taken and the forgotten angle."
