Author : Jeanette Winterson

Jeanette Winterson, born in Manchester in 1959, is a prominent British novelist known for her unmistakably original voice in contemporary literature. Raised in a strict Pentecostal Evangelist household in Accrington, Lancashire, her early experiences profoundly influenced her acclaimed debut novel, *Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit*, published in 1985. A graduate of St Catherine's College, Oxford, Winterson later worked as an assistant editor at Pandora Press and gained recognition as one of the “Best of Young British Writers” in the 1980s. She has adapted her works for television, written screenplays, and edited new editions of Virginia Woolf's novels. An active contributor to various newspapers and journals, including a regular column in *The Guardian*, she also created acclaimed radio dramas. Winterson divides her time between Gloucestershire and London, and her writings are celebrated in 28 countries worldwide.
