Come la maggior parte delle persone, ho vissuto a lungo con mia madre e mio padre. A mio padre piaceva guardare il wrestling, a mia madre piaceva lottare; non importava cosa. Questa è la storia di Jeanette, adottata e cresciuta dalla madre come una degli eletti di Dio. Zelante e passionale, sembra destinata a una vita da missionaria, ma poi si innamora di uno dei suoi convertiti. A sedici anni, Jeanette decide di lasciare la chiesa, la sua casa e la sua famiglia, per la giovane donna che ama. Innovativo, incisivo e tenero, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit è un viaggio di pochi giorni nei bizzarri avamposti dell'eccesso religioso e dell'ossessione umana. "Spiritosa. Straordinaria ed esaltante" The Times "È una maestra della sua materia, una scrittrice in cui risiede un grande talento" Vanity Fair "Molti la considerano la migliore scrittrice vivente in questa lingua. Nelle sue mani, le parole sono fluide, radiose, ronzanti" Evening Standard "Un romanzo che merita di essere rivisitato" Observer "Un meraviglioso romanzo sui riti di passaggio" Mariella Frostrup.

Jeanette Winterson CBE was born in Manchester. She published her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, at twenty-five. Over two decades later she revisited that material in her internationally bestselling memoir Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?. Winterson has written thirteen novels for adults and two previous collections of short stories, as well as children's books, non-fiction and screenplays. She is Professor of New Writing at the University of Manchester. She lives in the Cotswolds in a wood and in Spitalfields, London.
This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. Zealous and passionate, she seems seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts.
