One Aladdin Two Lamps by Jeanette WintersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Full Disclosure: I received an Advanced Reader's Copy of One Aladdin Two Lamps by Jeanette Winterson from Grove Press via NetGalley. This book is set to be published in January 2026.
One Aladdin Two Lamps by Jeanette Winterson is an exploration of life through the art and power of storytelling. Winterson guides us through One Thousand and One Nights and how it can teach us about ourselves and help us find hope when things are bleak. Great timing! It has been a very long time since I read those stories. It was interesting to revisit them as an adult. Like most "fairytales," they aren't really for children. I certainly didn't learn the same things from them as a kid that I took away during this revisit.
If you are already a fan of Jeanette Winterson, this is also part memoir. She learned to recognize that she could change her own story. For me, that was the most valuable lesson of this book. I am the story.
