Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit Av Jeanette Winterson

<p><b>Like most people I lived for a long time with my mother and father. My father liked to watch the wrestling, my mother liked to wrestle.</b><br><br>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 call that passion Unnatural?<br><br>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.<br><br><b>Meet ten of literature''s most iconic heroines, jacketed in bold portraits by female photographers from around the world.</b></p>
