Oranges are not the only fruits - Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette is a sharp and rebellious orphan who grows up in a deeply religious family in the industrial area of ​​Northern England. At school she embroiders gloomy religious mottos, at weekends she plays the tambourine in praise of the Lord and converts passers-by to the faith. Little Jeanette's life is intertwined with her mother's strange views on life and books, and so she grows up to be a very peculiar girl.
When Jeanette reaches adolescence, falls in love for the first time and discovers her sexuality, the balance in the godly home quickly collapses. Jeanette's determination to listen to the voice of her heart and proclaim it to the world makes this an unforgettable, moving and unique coming-of-age story.
