Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
Jeanette Winterson"In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming." - The Evening Standard
"The overwhelming impression of her work is one of remarkable self-confidence, and she evidently thrives on risk..." - The New York Review of Books
Now required reading in contemporary literature, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a funny, poignant exploration of a young girl’s adolescence. Jeanette is a bright and rebellious orphan who is adopted into an evangelical household in the dour, industrial North of England and finds herself embroidering grim religious mottoes and shaking her little tambourine for Jesus.
Zealous and passionate, she seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts. At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves.
"The most interesting writer I have read in twenty years." - Gore Vidal
"A daring, unconventional comic novel... by employing quirky anecdotes, which are told with romping humour, and by splicing various parables into the narrative, Winterson allows herself the dangerous luxury of writing a novel that refuses to rely on rousing plot devices... A fascinating debut... A penetrating novel." - Chicago Tribune
Innovative, punchy and tender, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is a few days' ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession. x
