Oranges are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

Oranges are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson

This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. 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. 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.

"She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent abides" Vanity Fair "Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language.. In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming" Evening Standard "An novel that deserves revisiting...Winterson maintains a balance of tone, a trueness of voice... It remains one of the finest things Winterson has written" Observer "Still extraordinary, still brilliant" Metro "Even at a time when so many good and interesting novels are coming out, hers stand out as performances of real originality and extraordinary promise" John Bayley
