''Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit'' is a novel by Jeanette Winterson published in 1985, which she subsequently adapted into a BBC television drama of the same name. It is a coming-of-age story about a lesbian girl who grows up in an English Pentecostal community. Key themes of the book include transition from youth to adulthood, complex family relationships, same sex relationships, and religion. In the UK, it has been included on both GCSE and A Level curriculums, such as the OCR English Literature A Level, Literature Post 1900.〔68995-unit-f662-literature-post-1900-coursework-guidance〕 ==Background== The book and subsequent BBC mini series are semi-autobiographical and are generally based on Winterson's life in Accrington, Lancashire, where she lived after moving from her birth town Manchester. "I wrote about some of these things in ''Oranges'', and when it was published, my mother sent me a furious note."〔Jeanette Winterson.'Why be Happy When You could be normal.'ISBN: 9780099556091〕 A parallel non-fictional account of her life at this time is given in her 2011 memoir, ''Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?'' Although the protagonist of ''Oranges'' bears the author's first name, John Mullan has argued that it is neither an autobiography nor a memoir, but a Künstlerroman.〔('True stories' ), John Mullan, The Guardian, 27 October 2007.〕
