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.

从长滩开始读,房间竟然时断时续可以上会儿网,书没法读了… 终于读完了,在读完全部三联之后!
评分audiobook read by Jeanette Winterson 有声书也不是第一次听了 常听常新
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
评分文笔又好故事讲的又好 前言看的很感动 不过我估计大部分宗教和canon的reference都lost on me 总觉得有的地方有点orientalism的意思 还有jeanette怎么找情人那么容易 我晕
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。
