ANew York Times Book Review 100 Notable Books of 2017; A New York Times Editors' Choice; One of the Los Angeles Times Holiday Books; One of USA Today's New and Noteworthy Books "Nowhere is [Winterson's] faith in the transporting power of storytelling more on display than in her new book, Christmas Days . . . dark, otherworldly and (trademark Winterson) wickedly funny . . . [a] holiday treasure . . . to be pulled out on a December night, fireside, and read aloud." --New York Times Book Review "If you crave the mystery, the family rituals, and the special victuals of Christmastime, you'll savor . . . bold, revelatory feminist writer Jeanette Winterson's Christmas Days." --Elle "A feast of stories . . . Winterson has wrapped up a holiday present between two covers." --NPR "Winterson has presented us with unexpected holiday cheer . . . perfect for stuffing the stockings of your eccentric relatives . . . The magical tales are all exuberant." --Washington Post "The edgy author continues the British tradition of writing funny, spooky stories for the Christmas season." --Los Angeles Times "Fables, reminiscences, ghost stories, recipes--Jeanette Winterson's collection of holiday-themed fiction and essays has a little of everything." --Seattle Times "Surprising and cheering . . .

The spirit of the season can be benevolent or not, but for Winterson it is always revelatory. She urges us to seize its power to transform . . . Christmas Days models this hopeful abundance throughout. Even those who great the season with ambivalence should find some treats to savor in its pages." --Lambda Literary Review "Spooky, clever, funny, and poignant, Winterson's supernatural tales refresh our appreciation of what it truly means to give, to love, and to share joy." --Booklist "Winterson has gathered 12 Yule-themed stories . . . She is especially good with the supernatural, using eerie and magical elements in ways that hark back to Poe and Dickens . . . Spooky, inventive, funny . . . [the book] has a 19th-century charm much needed in the grim 21st." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
