Oranges are Not the Only Fruit Jeanette Winterson Paperback - 182 pages (21 December, 1989) Pandora P; ISBN: 0044406711

'Like most people I lived for a long time with my mother and father. My lather liked to watch the wrestling, my mother liked to wrestle; it didn't matter what. She was in the white corner and that was that.'
Mother also had over ambitious plans for her adopted daughter.
She was to become a missionary, a saint, a public emblem of her own evangelical purity.
But this daughter has very different ideas of her own.
When Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit won the Whitbread Award for first novel in 1985, the birth of a fresh and original voice in Jeanette Winterson was confirmed. Ker touching and humorous account of an unusual childhood with an extraordinary mother has now been turned into a BBC TV drama.
'The most interesting young writer I have read in twenty years'
