The Orange Grove

Author: Larry Tremblay

Translated from the original French by Sheila Fischman

2017 Longlist

In an unnamed and war-torn country, twin brothers Amed and Aziz live in the sanctuary of the family’s orange grove. But when a bomb comes from “the other side of the mountain” and kills their grandparents, their father must choose how best to avenge his parents’ death, with tragic and unforeseen consequences.

Morally complex and completely unforgettable, Larry Tremblay’s bestselling The Orange Grove offers up a tragic fable about the absurd logic of terrorism, the power of brotherly love, and the hope for peace in a broken world.

Librarian’s Comments

Larry Tremblay’s ability is not so much to weave a storyline as to unravel one with finesse and beauty.
