Description
Why be Happy when You Could be Normal? is the unflinching and deeply personal story behind Jeanette Winterson's groundbreaking novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. This book is a painful past rewritten over and repainted, a story of survival that is both heartbreaking and humorous. It is a tale of the pursuit of happiness, lessons in love, and the search for a mother.
With unflinching honesty, Winterson recounts her own journey into madness and out again, a journey that is both fierce and fragile. This is a generous and true account of growing up, of the cost of love and the search for identity. It is a story that will stay with you long after you finish reading.
