This week on Writers and Company, host Eleanor Wachtel talks to Jeanette Winterson, author of Why Be Happy When You Could be Normal? Winterson reveals the true story behind her hit first novel, Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit. Now, Jeanette Winterson turns again to her own life in a remarkably candid account of growing up with the woman she calls Mrs. Winterson, her adoptive mother. Her new book reveals the darker side of that childhood - while still being amazingly funny.
