The Orange Grove
The author of The Bicycle Eater shares “a fluid and troubling fable” of brotherhood, tragedy, and the limits of art, written in “a subtle and fine poetry” (La Presse, CA). Twin brothers Amed and Aziz live in the peaceful shade of their family’s 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 wintry Montreal—is given a role which forces him to confront the past. Author Larry Tremblay, an actor and director himself, poses the difficult question: can art ever adequately address suffering? Both current and timeless, The Orange Grove depicts the haunting inheritance of war and its aftermath.
The Orange Grove
War takes no prisoners. It involves everyone - even children. Twin brothers, Ahmed and Aziz, live in the peaceful shade of their family's orange grove. But when a bomb kills the boys' grandparents, they become pawns in their country's civil war. Blood demands more blood and, at the command of a local militant group, either Ahmed or Aziz must strap on a belt of explosives and make the ultimate sacrifice. Will the surviving twin ever manage to release himself from the past? Why Peirene chose to publish this book: 'This story made me cry. Since the dawn of civilisation we have justified war by claiming that we are creating a better future for our children. And yet don't we run the risk of laying a curse on future generations? This story reminds us of our obligation to forgive - ourselves as well as others.' Meike Ziervogel, publisher at Peirene Press 'Nuanced but contrasting. Rough but also sensual. Shot through with poweful dialogue but never rambling. This kind of writing takes guts.' Le Devoir 'A little jewel, finely chiseled.' Elle 'Larry Tremblay's ability [is] not so much to weave a storyline as to unravel it with finesse and beauty.' Toronto Sun

The Orange Groove
In the tiny village of Caperucita Roja, Mexico, in a plaster-cracked alley, there's a wall. Hidden beneath a burst of bougainvillea, it's painted with a picture of nine running wolves. The image is faded nearly invisible, but the right words can turn the wolves loose-and once set free, they can't be called back.A thousand miles north, in Santa Teresa, California, the beach pavilion is in full swing. The oceanfront is overflowing with cold bourbon and hot neon, and the Mills Brothers are headlining at the Montelindo Hotel. The sun is gold, the swimming pools are blue-and the very worst fairy tales are coming to life.This is Springtime, 1948-perfume and color so real you'll want to stay. The wolves are running, and Annie's back.

Into the Orange Grove
If I let you in, / you can have a piece, / but the grove belongs to me. Into the Orange Grove: A Collection of Poetry is a fearless work that details the narrator's journey from isolation to connection. In this collection, poet Grace Hasson explores the true nature of storytelling and growth through topics as diverse as Renaissance art, Greek mythology, and Catholic symbolism. While shedding new light on old stories, like that of Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel ceiling or of Medusa and her men of stone, this collection also draws readers into the poet's personal journey toward healing through visceral (and sometimes macabre) detail. Into the Orange Grove speaks to lovers, fighters, and anyone who is searching for the deeper meanings of life. By interweaving elements of fantasy and realism, Hasson has written a truly unique work-one that will show you that being open and honest can be life-changing.
