Oranges are not the only fruits

Fascinating episodes from the life of a girl who grew up in a fanatical environment of Protestant evangelicals in northwestern England - funny, poignant, dramatic - are bizarrely intertwined in a postmodern narrative with vivid phantasmagoria inspired by the legends of King Arthur and his knights, fairy tale characters, delusions and visions, which create an additional, symbolic dimension in the book, enriching the psychological portraits of the main characters - the young rebel Janet and her authoritarian, relentless, cruel mother.
