About this listen
Shortlisted for: UK Author of the year – Specsavers National Book Awards 2012
When Jeanette Winterson, author of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, left home at 16 because she was in love with a woman, Mrs. Winterson asked her: "Why be happy when you could be normal?" This book is the story of a life's work to find happiness. It is the story of how the painful past returned to haunt Jeanette's later life, and send her on a journey into madness and out again, in search of her real mother. It is also a book about other people's stories, showing how fiction and poetry can form a string of guiding lights, a life raft which supports us when we are sinking.

Gorgeous and heartbreaking
What a life...and what a recounting of a life! Winterson's writing has the clarity and imagery of poetry, and so much warmth, humour and compassion. And only she could have narrated this book...a good illustration of why more writers should be encouraged to narrate their own audiobooks
