Commentary Supposing 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 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
Enjoyed reading the book! And now Im thinking, would i choose to have a life on earth if i actually had a choice?!
My father died eleven years ago. I was only four then. I never thought Id hear from him again, but now were writing a book together. Sometimes, there's a disarming beauty in simplicity. Sometimes, describing ordinary feelings and doubts is enough for writing extraordinary books. This is the case. I'm so happy that this is my first Gaarder's book. I love how he evokes emotions in the reader's mind without even trying to manipulate them. The plot isn't quite about philosophy, but it also isn't
I loved the book. A short and simple yet very touching and deep making me both smile and shed tears...
This book helped me be calm and still in a very difficult time in my life. I borrowed it from a friend, Shehneela, when I chanced upon it in her hostel room. I did not have any great reasons to pick this book up when she offered me to select something from her bookshelf, but now I am glad I picked this one up.I cannot explain in simple words how this book has helped untie a knot in my heart and mind, but it has, and for that reason, I wanted to do away with Shehneela's copy altogether. I was
In choosing to live, you also choose to dieShall we never start because we fear the final?!Since every beginning encloses an ending, obviously what really counts is what we do in between!Denying ourselves the experience will be like arresting our own development!...*So Simple... So True 👍*However there are things your survival instinct will probably advise you not to do:https://youtu.be/rTOKUfcDVQQProbably 😉
