Gut Symmetries

The novel's title and themes suggest a deep connection between symmetry and relationships. Did anyone else feel this added a layer of metaphor that made the love stories more layered?

The narrative jumps through different eras and perspectives, which kept me hooked. I wonder if this structure was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

Winterson's poetic style created a mesmerizing reading experience, but at times I had to reread passages to fully grasp their meaning. Did others feel the same?
