'Like most people I lived for a long time with my mother and
father. My father liked to watch the wrestling, my mother liked to
wrestle; it didn't matter what' This is the story of Jeanette,
adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. Zealous
and passionate, she 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. 'Witty... extraordinary and
exhilarating' The Times 'She is a master of her material, a writer
in whom great talent abides' Vanity Fair 'Many consider her to be
the best living writer in this language... In her hands, words are
fluid, radiant, humming' Evening Standard 'A novel that deserves
revisiting' Observer 'A wonderful rites-of-passage novel' Mariella
Frostrup
