	Conventions and Genre - Oranges are not the only fruit - author Kerry Braye
		Jeanette Winterson (1985) for example, in her Introduction in Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit says, 'Oranges is an experimental novel (interests are anti-linear), Oranges is a threatening novel (exposing the sanctity of family life), Oranges is a comforting novel (the heroine outside of life) and Oranges an autobiographical novel?
		In Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, this genre presents itself as confusing, disjointed and inconclusive, but also a constant source of pain.
		Betrayal, as mentioned previously, becomes a continuing theme within the text, as the only one she appears to trust is God (who some might say is only in her imagination, that is, a fantasy).

		And that's precisely why Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit is that rare adaptation that is as good as the literature at its source: the screenplay itself was in the author's hands.
		She is both steadied and shaken by her upbringing, and ready to taste both the mundane and the exotic, from oranges to pineapples, Lancashire to Oxford, genesis to revelation.

		Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is a coming-of-age story for an adopted girl in the seventies.
		Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, directed by Beeban Kidron, seemed rather too drawn out in the beginning child-Jess part and cutting out some of those hymns and preachin' could’ve given it better pacing for me, but it could also be seen as fl comedy.
		Jess’ mother only gives her oranges for fruit as she grows up, but as the movie shows us so well, oranges are not the only fruit.

		Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
		Only those fond of sweeping the dirt under the carpet so that it stays out of sight (or those who drive lesbian girls from their house/church and pretend they don't exist) will disagree with the innate vulgarity of all life.
		Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit courageously tackles a topic not addressed often enough in real literature; the struggle between one's family and self as sexuality develops contrary to "normal" expectations.

	Jeanette Winterson's "Written on the Body"
		It is my contention that Written on the Body, like Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, focuses on the power of language to create both subjectivity and sexuality, and that to concentrate exclusively on the politics of the lesbian subject blinds reviewer and critic alike to the preoccupations and very real distinction of this novel.
		Even Winterson's first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, which has been proclaimed one of "the few canonical texts which are central to the fledgling lesbian literary tradition" (Munt xx), is nevertheless criticized by another critic of lesbian literature for failing to live up to "the political agenda" of the lesbian writer (Doan 147).
		The ungendered narrator is only one strategy she employs among many to see whether she cannot revivify the jaded language of love.

		Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit deals with the young Jeanette (called Jess in the BBC's adaptation of the book), and her experiences growing up in a Pentecostal Evangelist family in northern England.
		This is not only the story of Jeanette; it is also about the actual making of a story, a story about the noble art of storytelling.

	Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit (from The Bolton News)
		With this week's news that fruit previously declared "ugly" because it does not look the perfect shape or colour can now be sold at reduced prices, there is no excuse for not getting your five portions a day.
		These days you can pick up a wide range of fruit and vegetables from different countries even different continents and it is almost as likely to be a durian fruit or a karila being popped into a brown paper bag.
		His customers have developed a keen interest in more unusual varieties of fruit and vegetables, and John indulges their interest by buying as many different types of produce as he can.

		Jeanette, the protagonist of Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit and the author's namesake, has issues--"unnatural" ones: her adopted mam thinks she's the Chosen one from God; she's beginning to fancy girls; and an orange demon keeps popping into her psyche.
		In Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Winterson knits a complicated picture of teenage angst through a series of layered narratives, incorporating and subverting fairytales and myths, to present a coherent whole, within which her stories can stand independently.
		As refreshing as a summer breeze OANTOF is an important book for those interested in Christian or lesbian literature and is a wonderful book to read even of you are not.

		Love and sex were not scheduled into her timetable, but at 16, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves.
		Funny and tender, Oranges is a document of the wilder side of religious enthusiasm, and an exploration of the power of love.
		Oranges is written in the first person, it's direct and uninhibited, but it isn't autobiography in the real sense.

	Scriptorium - Jeanette Winterson
		Much of these experiences was eventually fuel for the fire of her first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit (1985), which won the Whitbread Award for First Novel and much praise and admiration.
		After Oranges the "comic book" (and probably her least interesting book) Boating for Beginners (1985) further displayed Winterson's capacity for irreverence, which seems to be the stylistic saving grace from the conspicuous perils of the author's often archly moral tone.
		She has written two screenplays, one a popular television adaptation of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, the other entitled Great Moments in Aviation (she has confessed, "My interest in working for film and television is inevitably evangelical"), and recently she has begun to explore the potential of the Internet.

		After Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, Boating for Beginners - they can say - was an immediate lapse into the feminist obvious.
		Winterson's original admirers can say that, in Oranges..., and fitfully in her later books, she speaks in a completely different voice to this - demotic, expansive, playful.

		She speaks not only to lesbians and gay men who have faced rejection, but to ALL people who have had to find the courage to be who they are and do what they want to do despite the immediate people and circumstances that prevent, forbid, oppress or threaten them from doing so.
		Oranges is a powerful film, showing the opression of Jess, a young girl uncertain of her own identity.
		Never the less Oranges is a brilliant film and must be watched in its entiretry to be fully appreciated.

		Jeanette Winterson's semi-autobiographical novel Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit transfers wonderfully to the screen in this BBC adaptation (with a screenplay by Winterson).
		Charlotte Coleman is perfect as the teenage Jess, attempting to reconcile her religious devotion and her adolescent passion, but the film belongs to Geraldine McEwan as Jess' mother.
		When the Television adaptation of Jeanette Winterson’s classic ‘Oranges are Not the Only Fruit’ first hit the BBC in 1990 it was considered revolutionary to portray a lesbian love affair on the terrestrial screen.

		One showed her that she does not have to follow people but be true to her heart, the other showed her her true feelings towards, and the other gave her the gift to be independent even if Jeannette did not want it at the time.
		In ORANGES ARE NOT THE ONLY FRUIT I think she shows that women don't have to follow guidelines such as marrying men, they can be independent and be or do what they want even though it may cost them for their desires.
		Jeannette uses allegories and metaphors to get her point across through out the book when sometimes just explaining could not be as imageful or explain as well.

	Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit \| The A.V. Club
		Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit, based on Jeanette Winterson's acclaimed novel and sensitively directed by Beeban Kidron, is the story of a spunky young girl who comes of age while living with a vaguely pathetic yet frighteningly passionate fundamentalist group.
		As the girl gets older, she must decide between a rebellious new beginning as a college-bound lesbian and following in her adopted footsteps as a crazed missionary.
		A brilliant pitch-fl comedy, Oranges manages to be at once creepy, sad and deliriously funny, aided immeasurably by brilliant performances by Charlotte Coleman as the girl and Geraldine McEwan as her abusive, mentally unbalanced and strangely charismatic adopted mother.
