I am a bisexual woman who was raised by a very religious mother. She’s still finding her style and finding her message.įor me, Oranges is incredibly relatable. Written on the Body and Sexing the Cherry are both brilliant works of art from her miraculous molding of language and we can see the seeds of that in Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit but they have not fully developed. It’s Winterson’s first novel and shows all the promise that is to come from her later works. This story follows her as she navigates discovering her sexuality and how she deals with being told it’s a sin. All she knows is that she’s doing something that feels right to her but also makes her feel guilty and ashamed. She’s so young and sheltered when this happens that she doesn’t even have the word lesbian in her vocabulary. She discovers at a young age that she may be a lesbian but that is strictly forbidden by the church. Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is the story of a young Jeanette, named after the author, who is raised by an extremely religious mother and their cult of Christianity church. First is the spoiler free review followed by the spoiler full review and summary. This post of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by author Jeanette Winterson has been adapted from two previous posts.
