Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit
Jeanette Winterson's explosive first novel, a gripping coming-of-age story, a queer romance, a modern classic.'I love her.''Then you do not love the Lord.''Yes, I love both of them.''You cannot.''I do.''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 called that passion Unnatural?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.'Witty... extraordinary and exhilarating' The Times'She is a master of her material, a writer in whom great talent abides' Vanity Fair'Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language... In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming' Evening Standard'A novel that deserves revisiting' Observer'A wonderful rites-of-passage novel' Mariella Frostrup

Non ci sono solo le arance
Adottata da una famiglia religiosissima della provincia inglese - dove 'i pagani sono dappertutto, specialmente alla porta accanto' - la piccola Jeanette impara tutto sulle sacre scritture ma niente sul resto del mondo. Inventiva e ingenua, la ragazza sconcerta le insegnanti ricamando minacciosi versetti biblici e preparandosi con impegno a un futuro da missionaria. Ma invece della vocazione le giunge l'amore, nella forma imprevista di una coetanea, cosa che, nella comunità, fa subito sospettare un intervento diabolico. Ma per Jeanette la scoperta del desiderio è una verità emozionante e naturale.
