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
意外发现这系列配有JW自序,多次忽视的书名出处被作者郑重提起:查尔斯二世的传世情妇Nell Gwyn对此有重大贡献(不解为何JW会误写为查尔斯一世,编辑也没动)按图索骥了解到Nell曾在戏院当orange seller(后与情敌对骂时被叫orange-wench),兼作贵族和后台演员传信的使者赚取费用和八卦。她幸运地赶上女演员可以登台的时代,与男搭档合扮gay couple并名声大噪。为国王生下儿子时不惜把儿子吊在半空窗外要挟得到爵位,她成功了。N出身低微性格大胆,说不出那里有JW的因子。写自序时她已经在写why be happy,身世水落石出,有点含笑看当年的感觉。当然对橘子定义小说还是自传仍觉耿耿,她是把自身当素材写成小说的作者,在时间中来回穿梭,同时选择和舍弃素材。
评分一度很迷恋这个作者。。。

评分What if I stay?All you know will be around you and at the same time far from you. 如果真这样那简直太难过了
评分“As it is, I can't settle, I want someone who is fierce and will love me until death and know that love is as strong as death, and be on my side for ever and ever. I want someone who will destroy and be destroyed by me. ”我甚至开始幻想,如果他也曾翻过这本书该多好。
