Jeanette Winterson’s explosive first novel – ingenious, original, a modern classic.
This is the story of Jeanette. Adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God’s elect, Jeanette seems destined for life as a missionary. 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.
’Witty… extraordinary and exhilarating’ The Times
’She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent abides’ Vanity Fair
