"But the dream of something unlikely has its own special name. We call it hope."
What a perfect book to finish on Valentine's Day!
The Orange Girl is told as a letter from father to son. The son is reading the letter long after his father's death and is adding his own commentary.
I loved this format! Although I would suggested reading this book in one sitting or at least in one day if possible. Because it is one long letter, there were no chapter breaks which made it difficult for me to get back into the story after stopping.
I loved working through the clues of figuring out who the Orange Girl was and why she kept appearing and disappearing.
The Orange Girl is a quick, yet emotional read about how love makes life worth living.

به نظرم نسبت به دنیای سوفی ضعیف تر بود و من خیلی انتظار یک پایان هیجانی داشتم چون در اول کتاب طوری نوشته بود انگار میخواست رازی رو فاش کنه اما خودم اون سوپرایز کتاب رو تا حدودی حدس زده بودم.
فلسفه غرق شده در عشق رو دوست داشتم ولی قلم نویسنده کشش خیلی کمی داشت و نیاز داشتم بین فصل ها فاصله
بندازم تا از روند داستان خسته نشم.
جملات زیبا و با مفهومی داشت که یک گوشه ذهنم حک شدن
در کل به عنوان یک کتاب سبک برای وقتی که حوصله خوندن کتاب قطور رو نداری خوبه اما داستانی نیست که خیلی به یاد موندنی باشه:)

Ez volt az első hangoskönyv, amit valaha olvastam (hallgattam). Nekem nagyon tetszett ez a történet. Szerintem egy aranyos story volt. A karakterek kedvelhetőek.
Összességben, ajánlom mindenkinek. Aranyos és tanulságos kis történet.

Érdekes volt ez a romantikus történet. Nagyon tetszett, hogy ennyire kitartóak voltak a szülők annak idején, hogy azon voltak, hogy mindenképpen megtaláljak egymást. Érdekesek voltak a történet során az itt-ott elszórt tanulságok. Közvetít ez a könyv érdekes gondolatokat. Örülök, hogy e mellett döntöttem.Összességben, ajánlom mindenkinek. Aranyos és tanulságos kis történet.

This book disarmed me, I don't know what I expected going into it but I got something I hadn't anticipated. This is such a simple book - a son is given a letter written to him by his father in his final days when the boy was just a toddler, which contains the mystery of his father's first love. But the simplicity is deceptive. I had expected to read about loss and love, and there is certainly that. But this is almost a smoke screen to the core of this story, which is to ask a big question about the point of existence. Especially considering that I was initially uncomfortable with where this story was headed, given the father's obsessive tracking of a woman he'd barely met whom he'd decided was his soul mate, I'm glad I stuck with it. The themes of fairy tale and whether pleasure is worth the pain of inevitably having to lose it all transformed this from an unrealistic love story into something much deeper.
