Title: Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit Author: Jeanette Winterson ISBN: 9780802135162 Publisher: Grove Press Published: 1997 Binding: Paperback Language: English Number of Pages: 192 Condition Note: New from the publisher Publisher Description: 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. But as this budding missionary comes of age, and comes to terms with her unorthodox sexuality, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household dissolves. Jeanette's insistence on listening to the truths of her own heart and mind - and on reporting them with wit and passion - makes for an unforgettable chronicle of an eccentric, moving passage into adulthood.
