The Orange Grove Zusammenfassung

The Orange Grove Larry Tremblay

War takes no prisoners. It involves everyone - even children.Twin brothers, Amed and Aziz, live in the peaceful shade of their family's orange grove. But when a bomb kills the boys' grandparents, they become pawns in their country's civil war. Blood demands more blood and, at the command of a local militant group, either Ahmed or Aziz must strap on a belt of explosives and make the ultimate sacrifice. Years later, the surviving twin works as an actor in wintry Montreal. A theatre director gives him a role that forces the young man to reconsider his decisions. Will Ahmed - or is it Aziz? - release himself from the past?

The Orange Grove Bewertungen

'Nuanced but contrasting. Rough but also sensual. Shot through with powerful dialogues but never rambling. This kind of writing takes guts.' LE DEVOIR; 'A little jewel, finely chiseled.' ELLE; 'Larry Tremblay's ability [is] not so much to weave a storyline as to unravel it with finesse and beauty.' TORONTO SUN; 'The voluntary simplicity of Tremblay's writing recalls the story of Cain and Abel or the parable of the Prodigal Son... With The Orange Grove, Tremblay gives us a novel we should read...not once, but twice.' LA PRESSE (QUEBEC)
