Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit

By Jeanette Winterson

 This is a coming of age autofiction novel about a young, rebellious girl who is adopted into a religious family and has to reconcile her love for God and her northern England community with her budding sexuality as a lesbian.

Winterson's prose is quick and witty, her characterizations vivid and alive. It was a book I wanted to keep reading, full of humor and a comedic angst that was compelling.

An easy 4 stars.
