The shocking, heartbreaking and often very funny true story behind Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.In 1985 Jeanette Wintersons first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It was Jeanettes version of the story of a terraced house in Accrington, an adopted child, and the thwarted giantess Mrs Winterson. It was a cover story, a painful past written over and repainted. It was a story of survival.This book is that storys the silent twin. It is full of hurt and humour and a fierce love of life. It is about the pursuit of happiness, about lessons in love, the search for a mother and a journey into madness and out again. It is generous, honest and true.Unforgettable... Its the best book I have ever read about the cost of growing up Daisy Goodwin, Sunday TimesONE OF THE GUARDIANS 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY
