Interpretation To Books The Orange Girl
'My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought I'd hear from him again, but now we're writing a book together' To Georg Røed, his father is no more than a shadow, a distant memory. But then one day his grandmother discovers some pages stuffed into the lining of an old red pushchair. The pages are a letter to Georg, written just before his father died, and a story, 'The Orange Girl'. But 'The Orange Girl' is no ordinary story - it is a riddle from the past and centres around an incident in his father's youth. One day he boarded a tram and was captivated by a beautiful girl standing in the aisle, clutching a huge paper bag of luscious-looking oranges. Suddenly the tram gave a jolt and he stumbled forward, sending the oranges flying in all directions. The girl simply hopped off the tram leaving Georg's father with arms full of oranges. Now, from beyond the grave, he is asking his son to help him finally solve the puzzle of her identity.

this book had some unique ideas. like how our world is a big fairy tale. and as i was reading i felt a little sorry that we could no longer see the magic. when i look at a tree, I see green leaves that can catch the light and turn it into different chemicals. I think about the mechanism of photosynthesis, and how the vessels in it's trunk transfer different materials to every part of the tree. because i know the rules, a tree doesn't mesmerize me anymore, I don't see the magic when i look at it.Words Never DieMy father died before we could have a proper conversation. I was still an infant too young to talk about life, love, death, or anything else that could possibly matter!...However, dad wanted so much to guide me, to be there for me, that before his death he managed to write a letter addressed to a future me a letter I found in a moment I desperately needed it!Unlike people, words never die!P.S.: Im not telling you the story of my life these thoughts belong to the main character
DNF 14% The story doesn't interest me. Maybe I'll pick this book again in the future.
This was one awesome book! I actually just came to read it because of my seat mate way back in my senior year in high school. She was the one who owns the book actually. I saw the book on her desk and asked her if she could give me a gist of the story. She told me that it is better if I read the book myself because she finds it a bit difficult to explain what is in the book. I didn't hesitate, I immediately grabbed that opportunity to be able to read the book. I was so curious about its cover
What a beautiful, moving book. I read Sophie's World, because someone recommended it to me (I think it might have been just a random man in the library), and I wasn't that impressed, but his imaginative world was enough for me to try and read more - so I got this and Solitaire Mystery out as well. And I loved both of them.I can't really say why I liked this one so much. I am not a chick-lit fan, the only romances I have actually read and liked are by Austen, so this was not as much about the
But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope. Jostein Gaarder, The Orange GirlThe Orange Girl was my introduction to Jostein Gaarder; Thanks to my friend, ST for suggesting Gaarder to me. The Orange Girl was the perfect book to read after finishing Ulysses. Gaarder is a true romantic and The Orange Girl is as fine a feel good book as there is. While reading The Orange Girl, you will experience a wide range of emotions ~~ you will laugh, cry, be frustrated, and
Few days ago Kay-c asked me what book should she read if she wants to start reading philosophy book. I immediately said' Jostein Gaarder's!'. Jostein Gaarder was the reason why I read philosophy book in the first place. I read Sophie's World years ago and I was hooked! So I started reading his other books. Orange Girl isn't my favorite Gaarder but that doesn't mean this book isn't worthy of your time. On the contrary, I think this is one of the must-read book; especially if you're taking
