Description: First U.S Edition, First U.S. Printing. Winterson OBE has written ten novels, children's books, non-fiction works, and screenplays, and writes regularly for the Guardian . She was adopted by Pentecostal parents and raised in Manchester to be a missionary, which she wrote about in her first novel, Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit , and twenty-seven years later in her bestselling memoir, Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? The Winter's Tale , by William Shakespeare, tells the story of Perdita, the abandoned child. "All of us have talismanic texts that we have carried around and that carry us around. I have worked with The Winter's Tale in many disguises for many years," Jeanette says of the play. The result is The Gap of Time , her cover version of Shakespeare's play. She has won numerous awards, including the Whitbread First Novel Award, the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize, and the E. M. Forster Award.First
