Description

Winner of the Whitbread Prize for best first fiction, Oranges Aren't the Only Real Fruit is just a coming-out book from Winterson, the acclaimed writer of The Passion and Sexing the Cherry. The narrator, Jeanette, cuts her teeth to the understanding that she's among God’s elect, but as this future evangelical comes old, and involves terms with her choice for her own gender, the unusual stability of her god fearing home crumbles.
