About jeanette winterson
In 1985 I published my first novel Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit. It won a few prizes and later I adapted it for BBC TV where we won a BAFTA for best drama. 25 years later I revisited some of that material - and told the story of my adoption - in the memoir Why Be Happy When You Could be Normal?
I’ve written a lot over the years; novels, essays, short stories, kids’ books, screenplays. I am published in 23 countries and many languages so if you want to buy my books, it’s easy. I hope you will do so using your great local independent bookstore.
