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\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn alluring blend of the ancient and the contemporary, \u003ci\u003eOne Aladdin Two Lamps\u003c\/i\u003e ingeniously explores stories and their vital role in our lives.
