Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? Jeanette Winterson Vintage

The shocking, heart-breaking - and often very funny - true story behind Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit.In 1985 Jeanette Winterson\'s first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It was Jeanette\'s 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 story\'s 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… It’s the best book I have ever read about the cost of growing up’ Daisy Goodwin, Sunday Times**ONE OF THE GUARDIAN\'S 100 BEST BOOKS OF THE 21st CENTURY** Σελίδες: 240, Διαστάσεις: 12.9x12.9cm
