About this product

Product Information

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.

    Different cover

    I bought this particular version of the book because I liked the cover as it appers in the description. However when the book arrived the cover was different to the one in the picture. I could have bought a cheaper version, but bought this one because of the cover. To find out the cover was not as advertised was disapointing. But the book is fine and postage was swift so other than the false advertising everything was fine.

    The book cover is different and there is a stain in the corner but it alright.

    I thought I’d get the same book cover as it showed in the picture instead I got a different cover, but it’s alright. It’s a bit damaged around the corners and there is a stain but the inside is fine.

  • An unusually written, interesting read.

    I brought this for a book club read. I wasn't sure I would enjoy it but I like the style and content. It is unusually written in as much as it feels as if you are reading a jumble of thoughts that are coming straight from the protagonists head. I feel this is actually a true depiction of how we think through things on a daily basis. Although this book is 30 years ols D the content is topical.

  • The cover didn’t match picture which seemed odd. Also the cover and first few pages were a bit bent and damaged
