This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God's elect. Zealous and passionate, she seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts. At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves. Innovative, punchy and tender, "Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit" is a few days ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession.

"An explosively imaginative writer." -"The London Free Press" "She is a master of her material, a writer [of] great talent." -"Muriel Spark" "Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language." -"Evening Standard" "The overwhelming impression of her work is one of remarkable self-confidence, and she evidently thrives on risk.... As good as Poe: it dares you to laugh and stares you down." -"The New York Review of Books" "The most interesting writer I have read in twenty years." -Gore Vidal  Be the first to write a customer review
