THE ORANGE GIRL - JOSTEIN GAARDER KARTONIERT (TB)

From the author of SOPHIE'S WORLD  a modern fairy tale with a philosophical twist.    'It
should be read by all' VOGUE   '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.
