The Orange Girl

Read the book on Thursday...it's a very good story. Very simple storyline but nicely written... Nearly brought me to tears on some tender moments. Definitely a must read.

The story unfolds 11 years after the death of the father...his son receives a letter written by his dad hidden in the dad's battered couch. As the story weaves between the contents of the letter and the narrative of the son, you'll see how the present and the past blends in neatly. The story of how his dad met the mysterious Orange Girl and how his adventures will now be continued by the son.

My very brief and crappy review does not do the story justice. It's written by the same author who gave us Sophie's World. Has that got your attention yet? :D
