Wish I had the PDF right now

Where can I get a digital copy of "The Passion" by Jeanette Winterson right now?

I'm in class and Amazon "Search inside this book" is failing me. I am willing to pay up to the cover price of the book if I can download/access it ASAP. Thanks for any suggestions!

So...Amazon's "Search Inside" isn't giving you the expected results, or you simply can't use it? It should be able to give you the complete text (in small chunks).

Are you currently taking a test?

Can't help with a full copy, but there is an excerpt on Winterson's site.

You can see a limited preview on google books and search inside as well.

Response by poster: I'm not taking a test, it's a class discussion. I'm able to get certain pages from both Amazon Search Inside and Google Books, but both restrict certain pages.

Try searching for the word "Passion" in the Amazon online reader. This should get you a list of most pages, and you can click on individual pages to see the contents of that page. You can use the "previous page" and "next page" functions to see the pages that don't come up in this search.

Response by poster: I am actually able to search for page numbers and I get a link to each page, but certain pages are still restricted after I click on the link. Although this isn't ideal, it is mostly working, and I'm not complaining– I should have bought the book when I had the chance.
