Jeanette is a young woman adrift in London, her life upended by a passionate affair. As she navigates the aftermath, she finds solace in the vibrant, sensual world of tropical fruits. But Jeanette's journey is far from simple - she must confront her past, her desires, and the very nature of love itself. Winterson's prose pulses with raw emotion, drawing readers deep into the heart of one woman's search for identity and connection.
