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. Unforgettable Its the best book I have ever read about the cost of growing up Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times **ONE OF THE GUARDIAN'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY**

  1. Varm, rolig
    Anna H, 10 oktober 2012

    "Laughing out loud funny" stod det i en engelsk recension och det är bara att hålla med. Jag hade den med på en resa och läste stora delar högt för mitt resesällskap (som sedan lånade den och forfarande inte lämnat tillbaka!). Ändå är innehållet allvarligt, Mrs Winterson var verkligen ett monster till adoptivmor. Det känns klichéfyllt att prata om "humor och värme", men jag kan inte beskriva med andra ord. Läs!
