Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (Winterson, Jeanette)

From: $10.53

Innovative in style, its humour by turns punchy and tender, Jeanette Winterson’s first novel, Oranges are Not the Only Fruit is a few days ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession. It’s a love story, too. Winterson’s adaptation of the novel was an internationally acclaimed television drama awarded a BAFTA for best drama and an RTS award in the same year; the Prix Italia; FIPA D’Argent at Cannes for best script; The Golden Gate in San Francisco and an ACE Award at the Los Angeles television festival.

This is not "Well of Loneliness" (Radcliffe Hall) and for that we can all be grateful.

From: Amazon Posted: Aug 08, 2006 Type: User Review An Unwritten Story

Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit courageously tackles a topic not addressed often enough in real literature; the struggle between one's family and self as sexuality develops contrary to "normal" expectations. Jeanette Winterson deftly paints the...

From: Amazon Posted: May 18, 2006 Type: User Review Her beginnings....

You can see the author finding her voice in this one. It's jumpy with moments of sparking fire that characterize her later works. She dips a toe into the magic realism and fairy tale, and seeing these tentative steps should give all writers faith...

From: Amazon Posted: Jan 18, 2006 Type: User Review Winterson's first, funniest, and finest

All of Jeanette Winterson's novels are intelligent and worth reading, yet none of her later works have ever quite equalled this, her famous first novel that created a sensation in the UK in the mid 1980s. For one thing, almost none of her later...
