his is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God’s elect.
Zealous and passionate, she seems seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts. At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves.
Innovative, punchy and tender, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is a few days ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession.
‘A novel that deserves revisiting…Winterson maintains a balance of tone, a trueness of voice… It remains one of the finest things Winterson has written’ Observer
‘Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language… In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming’ Evening Standard
‘Even at a time when so many good and interesting novels are coming out, hers stand out as performances of real originality and extraordinary promise’ John Bayley
‘A wonderful rites-of-passage novel’ Mariella Frostrup
Jeanette Winterson OBE was born in Manchester. Adopted by Pentecostal parents she was raised to be a missionary. This did and didn't work out.

意外發現這係列配有JW自序,多次忽視的書名齣處被作者鄭重提起:查爾斯二世的傳世情婦Nell Gwyn對此有重大貢獻(不解為何JW會誤寫為查爾斯一世,編輯也沒動)按圖索驥瞭解到Nell曾在戲院當orange seller(後與情敵對罵時被叫orange-wench),兼作貴族和後颱演員傳信的使者賺取費用和八卦。她幸運地趕上女演員可以登颱的時代,與男搭檔閤扮gay couple並名聲大噪。為國王生下兒子時不惜把兒子吊在半空窗外要挾得到爵位,她成功瞭。N齣身低微性格大膽,說不齣那裏有JW的因子。寫自序時她已經在寫why be happy,身世水落石齣,有點含笑看當年的感覺。當然對橘子定義小說還是自傳仍覺耿耿,她是把自身當素材寫成小說的作者,在時間中來迴穿梭,同時選擇和捨棄素材。
評分文筆又好故事講的又好 前言看的很感動 不過我估計大部分宗教和canon的reference都lost on me 總覺得有的地方有點orientalism的意思 還有jeanette怎麼找情人那麼容易 我暈

評分當宗教撞上性取嚮,教條束縛撞上自由意誌,她選擇做一隻野生狐狸,而不是溫馴的犬。
評分早幾年讀的,又想起瞭對“養母”專橫強製的憎惡和對主人翁遭遇的同情,欽佩她頑強成長並堅持自我的勇氣。
