Quel tempo non potevo immaginare cosa sarebbe stato di me, e non mi importava. Non era il giorno del giudizio, ma un altro mattino. Questa è la storia di Jeanette, adottata e cresciuta da evangelisti della classe operaia nel nord dell'Inghilterra per essere una degli eletti di Dio. Appassionata, testarda e protetta dalla grande disapprovazione di sua madre per un mondo peccaminoso, sembra destinata a una vita da missionaria. E poi incontra Melanie. A sedici anni, Jeanette affronta un mondo di incertezza mentre si stacca dalla chiesa e dalla sua comunità per la giovane donna che ama. Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit è un romanzo caldo, spiritoso e audace che dà voce a un desiderio irrefrenabile. Incontra dieci delle eroine più iconiche della letteratura, rivestite in audaci ritratti di fotografe provenienti da tutto il mondo.

Jeanette Winterson CBE was born in Manchester. Adopted by Pentecostal parents she was raised to be a missionary. This did and didn't work out. Discovering early the power of books she left home at sixteen to live in a Mini and get on with her education. After graduating from Oxford University she worked for a while in the theatre and 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, born to be one of God's elect: adopted by a fanatical Pentecostal family and ablaze with her own zeal for the scriptures, she seems perfectly suited for the life of a missionary. But then she converts Melanie, and realises she loves this woman almost as much as she loves the Lord. How on Earth could her Church called that passion Unnatural?
Both a groundbreaking coming-of-age novel and a pioneering work of autofiction, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit goes beyond facts into the deepest truths. Searing and tender, playful and provocative, it is a portrait of the artist as a young evangelist, re-writing her own Bible.
