One of Britain's most acclaimed novelists, Jeanette Winterson was born in Manchester 1959.
After rejecting her adoptive parents' strict religious lifestyle and running away from home as a teenager, she supported herself through school with a series of part-time jobs and then gained a place to study English at Oxford University.
Her first novel Oranges Are Not The Only Fruit was published in 1985, won a Whitbread Prize and was made into an acclaimed BBC TV series.
As well as subsequent novels, such as The Passion (1987) and The Powerbook (2000), which she adapted for stage and opened at the National Theatre in 2002, Jeanette Winterson has written a TV film, Great Moments in Aviation, and contributes regular columns to The Guardian and The Times.
