Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
4.0

I'd never read any of her fiction and I'm glad I finally have.

A clever and witty look at how religion raises people and one girls attempt to be herself with a fanatical mother.

Loved the humour in this, so many little moments to laugh at. The characters just being themselves and ignorant and not knowing. Very funny. The mother wanting a catapult for the cat for example.

I enjoyed the structure and how it was shaped by religious stories. Very clever.
