Like most people I lived for a long time with my mother and father.
My father liked to watch the wrestling. My mother liked to wrestle.
This is the story of Jeanette, adopted by working-class evangelists in the North of England, in the 1960's. You've just got to read it. You will laugh, you will cry, you will cringe, and you will have a blast discussing this rich and rewarding book.
If you've never read Jeanette Winterson, or if you're already a fan, please be sure to come join us every Wednesday at 6PM in February as we read and discuss her amazing autobiographical novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit!
Winterson is a literary powerhouse, regularly producing novels and essays that challenge even as they entertain readers around the world. She is an amazingly inventive writer and a literary stylist of the first rank.
Where you raised in a house like this one?
