War takes no prisoners. It involves everyone - even children.Twin brothers, Amed 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. Years later, the surviving twin works as an actor in wintry Montreal. A theatre director gives him a role that forces the young man to reconsider his decisions. Will Ahmed - or is it Aziz? - release himself from the past?

'Nuanced but contrasting. Rough but also sensual. Shot through with powerful dialogues 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 voluntary simplicity of Tremblay's writing recalls the story of Cain and Abel or the parable of the Prodigal Son... With The Orange Grove, Tremblay gives us a novel we should read...not once, but twice.' LA PRESSE (QUEBEC)
