Sinopsis
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

Condición: Bueno. : En 1985, la primera novela de Jeanette Winterson, 'Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit', fue publicada. Era la versión de Jeanette de la historia de una casa adosada en Accrington, una niña adoptada y la gigante frustrada Sra. Winterson. Era una historia de portada, un pasado doloroso escrito y repintado. Era una historia de supervivencia. Este libro es el gemelo silencioso de esa historia. Está lleno de dolor, humor y un feroz amor por la vida. Se trata de la búsqueda de la felicidad, de lecciones de amor, de la búsqueda de una madre y de un viaje a la locura y de vuelta. Es generoso, honesto y verdadero. EAN: 9780099556091 Tipo: Libros Categoría: Otros Título: Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
