Description
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit
Paperback Edition
by Jeanette Winterson
“To read Jeanette Winterson is to love her.” — O, The Oprah Magazine
A beloved modern classic and a landmark in queer literature, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is Jeanette Winterson’s dazzling debut—both funny and profound, intimate and universal.
Adopted into an evangelical household in the industrial north of England, Jeanette is raised to be a missionary—embroidering religious mottos and preaching salvation with her tambourine in hand. But when she falls in love with another girl, her world of faith and family begins to unravel. With sharp wit and deep humanity, Winterson transforms one girl’s coming-of-age into a timeless exploration of identity, love, and the courage to live authentically.
Winner of the Whitbread Award for Best First Fiction, this 40th anniversary edition includes a new introduction and afterword by the author, reflecting on the novel’s enduring impact across generations and its place as a pioneering work of queer autofiction.
