Title: Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal?
Author: Jeanette Winterson
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic
Year: 2011/2012
230 pages
A fascinating autobiography that illuminates the author's Oranges are Not the Only Fruit. Winterson knows how to turn a phrase, and though this story sometimes spends too long on philosophical abstractions and psychodynamic interpretation as it nears its end, it still holds together nicely. A good adoption narrative in its own right, and one requiring a level of detective perseverance on the author's part that is reminiscent of Homes's in The Mistress's Daughter.
