Come join us!!! Jeanette is a bright and rebellious orphan who is adopted into an evangelical household in the dour, industrial North of England and finds herself embroidering grim religious mottoes and shaking her little tambourine for Jesus. But as this budding missionary comes of age, and comes to terms with her unorthodox sexuality, the peculiar balance of her God-fearing household dissolves. Jeanette's insistence on listening to the truths of her own heart and mind - and on reporting them with wit and passion - makes for an unforgettable chronicle of an eccentric, moving passage into adulthood.
The BookWoman BookGroup usually meets on the 4th Tuesday of each month. We read a variety of genres and we welcome new members!

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? Jeanette Winterson Jeanette Winterson's 1985 book Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a quasi-autobiographical novel about an adopted daughter's budding lesbian sexuality and relationship with her evangelical mother, won the Whitbread Prize for best first novel, and inspired a BAFTA award-winning BBC television adaptation. With "a reputation as a holy terror, a lesbian desperado and a literary genius” (Salon), Winterson is passionate about the transformative power of art. "Words," she says in a BBC interview, "are weapons and also love affairs." Honored as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire, her numerous awards include the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize for The Passion and the E. M. Forster Award for Sexing the Cherry. Her new memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?, describes her lifelong quest to find happiness.
