About Jeanette Winterson
English author
Jeanette Winterson is an English author. She is known for her fiction, especially her debut novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, a semi-autobiographical story about a lesbian growing up in an English Pentecostal community.

Her books have been translated into nearly 20 languages, and she also broadcasts and teaches creative writing.
