Nell'autunno del 1975 la sedicenne Jeanette Winterson deve prendere una decisione: rimanere al 200 di Water Street assieme ai genitori adottivi o continuare a vedere la ragazza di cui è innamorata e vivere in una Mini presa in prestito. Sceglie la seconda strada, perché tutto quello che vuole è essere felice. Tenta di spiegarlo alla madre, che però le chiede: "Perché essere felice quando puoi essere normale?". Da questa frase inizia il racconto intimo e personale di un'infanzia trascorsa fra un padre indifferente e una madre che passa le notti sveglia ad ascoltare il Vangelo alla radio, impastando torte e lavorando a maglia.

¿Por qué ser feliz cuando puedes ser normal?, preguntó la señora Winterson a su hija Jeanette cuando ella, recién cumplidos los dieciséis años, le confesó haberse enamorado de otra chica. Extraña pregunta, pero poco más podía esperarse de una mujer que había adoptado a una niña para hacer de ella una aliada en su misión religiosa, y en cambio se las tuvo que ver con un ser extraño que pedía a gritos su porción de felicidad.
