The shocking, heart-breaking - and often very funny - true story behind
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. In 1985 Jeanette Winterson's first
novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It was Jeanette's
version of the story of a terraced house in Accrington, an adopted
child, and the thwarted giantess Mrs Winterson.
It was a cover
story, a painful past written over and repainted. It was a story of
survival. This book is that story's the silent twin.
It is
full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the
pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and
a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.
