Sinaasappels zijn niet de enige vruchten / Kersen kruisen / De passie
In Sinaasappels zijn niet de enige vruchten vertelt Jeanette Winterson het semiautobiografische verhaal van een jeugd onder invloed van middelmatigheid en godsdienstig fanatisme.
Kersen kruisen is een bizar sprookje over liefde en seks, leugens en waarheden en prinsessen die nog lang en gelukkig leven, maar niet met hun echtgenoten.
De passie gaat over Henri, soldaat-kok die met Napoleon naar Rusland trekt, en over de Venetiaanse schoonheid Villanelle, die haar hart inzet in het casino – en verliest.
