«Sexing the Cherry» is the novel by Jeanette Winterson, published by Vintage in paperback (144 pages, in English).
In the seventeenth century, Jordan, an orphan found in the River Thames, and the Dog Woman, his enormous and monstrous caretaker with a wide vocabulary, star in a narrative that plays with history and fantasy. It addresses love, sex, lies and truths, and includes twelve dancing princesses whose happy ending does not take place alongside their husbands.
Jeanette Winterson is also the author of «Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit», and «Sexing the Cherry» was published in 1990.
