What a triumph of a book! This is my first Winterson level, and it made me so happy - as a queer woman who was raised in a Christian household (Catholic school, Sunday school, the whole shebang) I saw parts of myself I recognized in there. The writing is beautiful, the story is amazing, and the imagery and themes - oranges, betrayal - are very prominent but without it being like Winterson is knocking you over the head with how obvious it is. Truly an amazing book and a wonderful piece of LGBT fiction, even though Winterson herself doesn't like the book being called a 'gay book'. ( )

I feel like I should have liked it more than I did. Maybe its all the Jesus stuff and the folklore. I wish it were more about the actual story, which I also didn't feel strongly for. ( )

Very gay and northern how could you not love it ( )

I read this book years ago in a graduate seminar and don't remember much of the details. But I do remember that it generated lots of good conversation. ( )

I think that this probably had more impact when it was written than it did for me now, mainly because the author's family history is more widely known - the events of this autobiographical novel are not the surprise that they would have been at publication. I thought that the final chapter, with the allegory and analogy was the most inventive writing, the remainder read as a narrative line. I'm not sure that there's a lot more I can say here. I feel it may have lost some of its impact with time. ( )

Narratively, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is built on a particular irony - a contradiction in which it takes some sly delight....The novel may be a story of self-liberation for a secular age, but it recalls a traditional sense that a person's story is made significant by reference to the Bible. Why should any individual's story matter, after all? Because it follows the pattern of God-given precept and God-directed narrative. All the early heroes and heroines of the English novel - Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Richardson's Pamela and Clarissa - make sense of their peculiar lives by reference to the Bible

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; it didn't matter what. She was in the white corner and that was that.
Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit was written during the winter of 1983 and the spring of 1984. (Introduction)

Everyone thinks their own situation most tragic. I am no exception.
Going back after a long time will make you mad, because the people you left behind do not like to think of you changed, will treat you as they always did, accuse you of being indifferent, when you are only different.
Of course that is not the whole story, but that is the way with stories; we make them what we will. It's a way of explaining the universe while leaving the universe unexplained, it's a way of keeping it all alive, not boxing it into time. Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently.
She was Old Testament through and through. Not for her the meek and paschal Lamb, she was out there, up front with the prophets, and much given to sulking under trees when the appropriate destruction didn't materialise. Quite often it did, her will or the Lord's I can't say.
I didn't know quite what fornicating was, but I had read about it in Deuteronomy, and I knew it was a sin. But why was it so noisy? Most sins you did quietly so as not to get caught.
