"In 1985 Jeanette Winterson's first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, was published. It tells the story of a young girl adopted by Pentecostal parents. The girl is supposed to grow up and be a missionary. Instead she falls in love with a woman. Disaster."
"PLAYAWAY. This is the story of a life's work to find happiness. It is the story of how the painful past Jeanette Winterson thought she'd written over returned to haunt her later life, & sent her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her real mother."
