Beschreibung

<p><b>Jeanette Winterson's explosive first novel, a gripping coming-of-age story, a queer romance, a modern classic.</b></p><p><i>'I love her.'</i><br><i>'Then you do not love the Lord.'</i><br><i>'Yes, I love both of them.'</i><br><i>'You cannot.'</i><br><i>'I do.''</i></p><p>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?</p><p>Both a groundbreaking coming-of-age novel and a pioneering work of autofiction, <i>Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit</i> 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.</p><p><b>'Witty... extraordinary and exhilarating' <i>The Times</i></b></p><p><b>'She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent abides' <i>Vanity Fair</i></b></p><p><b>'Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language... In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming' <i>Evening Standard</i></b></p><p><b>'A novel that deserves revisiting' <i>Observer</i></b></p><p><b>'A wonderful rites-of-passage novel' Mariella Frostrup</b></p>
