Book Review of Five Quarters of the Orange

Five Quarters of the Orange
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 1


This book kind of snuck up on me and I found myself enjoying this more that I imagined. Compelling characters, suspenseful plot, poignant and lyrical language. This story takes the immense events of WWII and isolates them to a very everyday level. It left me wondering how many quiet stories there are like this one in the wake of those global events and the lasting repercussions of seemingly innocent and innocuous acts.
