The Orange Grove by Larry Tremblay
- A powerful little novella which attempts to help us understand on-going cycles of violence.
- A meditation on a family caught up in the violence of retribution.
- A family forced to choose which of their twin sons to ‘offer’ up to the glory of God, perpetuating violence as the means of resolving political differences.
- Years later, we witness the surviving son, struggling to come to terms with the fact of being the one left behind.
- Tremblay leaves us with much food for thought.
