The vital role of illustrators and designers in the production of some of the world's best-loved adult and children's books has created and defined the identity of our UK publishing lists.
We value creativity and design incredibly highly, and started the Penguin Random House Design Award nine years ago to encourage the next generation of designers to use their amazing talents to help us tell our author’s stories.
The Book
Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit by Jeanette Winterson
‘A story of self-liberation for a secular age’ Guardian
This is the story of Jeanette, adopted and brought up by her mother as one of God’s elect. Zealous and passionate, she seems destined for life as a missionary, but then she falls for one of her converts.
At sixteen, Jeanette decides to leave the church, her home and her family, for the young woman she loves. Innovative, punchy and tender,Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit is a few days’ ride into the bizarre outposts of religious excess and human obsession.
‘Many consider her to be the best living writer in this language... In her hands, words are fluid, radiant, humming’ Evening Standard
