To look again. Especially to look again at how fiction works in our lives, giving us the courage to change our own narratives and alter endings we wish to subvert. As a young working-class woman, with no obvious future beyond factory work or marriage, Winterson realizes through the power of books that she can read herself as fiction as well as a fact: “I can change the story because I am the story.”\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAn alluring blend of the ancient and the contemporary, \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-text-italic\"\u003eOne Aladdin Two Lamps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ingeniously explores stories and their vital role in our lives.
