Twin brothers, Ahmed 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.

Recenzii

Praise for The Orange Grove

"This is a tale of the innumerable tragedies of war—bereavement, brainwashing, aftermath—told with the lyricism of an epic parable or fairytale, one the reader will not soon forget."—Publishers Weekly

Winner:
Prix des Libraires du Que´bec
Prix litte´raire des colle´giens
Prix litte´raire des enseignants (AQPF-ANEL)
Prix roman & Prix des lecteurs du Salon
du livre du Saguenay Lac St-Jean
Prix coup de coeur des Irre´sistibles


"Writing as sober as it is convincing… an essential book."—Chatelaine

"The Orange Grove acts as a detonator of conscience and can leave no one indifferent." —L'actualité

"A novel which denounces the absurdity of war. The luminosity of the text, which is extremely poetical, contrasts with the horrors of his subject."—La librairie francophone | Radio-Canada

"In a literary world which is fueled by easy emotion and writing ravaged by sentimentality, Larry Tremblay keeps the rigor of a true artist who knows it is only emotion that matters…"—Zone occupée

"The willing simplicity of [Tremblay’s] writing recalls the story of Cain and Abel or the parable of the prodigal son… With The Orange Grove, Larry Tremblay gives us a novel we ought to read…not once but twice."—Chantal Guy, La Presse

"A fluid and troubling fable; a subtle and fine poetry."—Marc Cassivi, La Presse

"A must read!"—Téléjournal Radio-Canada Saguenay-Lac-St-Jean

"[A] real literary punch."—Stanley Péan, Le libraire

The Orange Grove is a work of great topicality that should be read with the heart of a child and the conscience of an adult.—Impact Campus

"With a poetic pen, the author presents a fable on identity, filiation and lies. A story at once hard and touching which is devoured in an evening."—Coup de pouce

"Another novel about war…but exceptional because of the purity of the writing…. A little jewel, finely chiseled. Perhaps the best Quebecois novel of 2013."—Elle Québec

"This moving account is served by writing of perfect restraint and crisp strokes."—Lettres québécoises

"It’s a very lovely book which is brutal… inhabited…haunted, truly superb."—
Sorj Chalandon, Prix Goncourt nominee

"The Orange Grove tugs at the heart and, even though very current, carries all the qualities of a timeless fable."—Bible urbaine
