4 posts | 7 read | 17 to read
Twin brothers Amed and Aziz live in the peaceful shade of their familys orange grove. But when a bomb kills the boys grandparents, the war that plagues their country changes their lives forever. Blood must repay blood, and, in order to avenge their grandparents deaths, one brother must offer the ultimate sacrifice. Years later, the surviving twin - now a student actor in a wintry Montreal - is given a role which forces him to confront the past. Tremblay, an actor and director himself, poses the difficult question: can art ever adequately address suffering? Both current and timeless, written with the sharp purity of desert poetry, The Orange Grove depicts the haunting inheritance of war and its aftermath.

This little book is anything but light. It is heavy with the burden of war, religion and family. Beautifully written, this amazing novella is bursting with wonderful prose. If it isn‘t on your TBR pile then get it on there. If its already on there, then read it 🤘🏽

Stunned by this short in length but mighty in power and complexity read! Talk about packing a punch, The Orange Grove "depicts the haunting inheritance of war and its aftermath" as if follows twin brothers Amed and Aziz. Definitely one to read this year!
