Describing the book "The Oranges Girl" "The Oranges Girl" is a book written by a norwegian philosopher, J. Gaarder. The plot it is about a 13 years old teenager, Robert, who finds a letter of his dead father. His father had an illeness, and when the main charachter was 1 year old, he died. Before this tragic moment, his father had been writting a letter to Robert, having in mind that this letter would be read in the future by his son, but without knowing when. Robert's father expressed to him his passion for the Universe, as well as all the concerns he had about human existance. In this letter it is also written who is The Oranges Girl, and why is she so important in Robert's life. By reading this letter, Robert will realise that he has more things in common with his father than he would never have imagined. On the one hand, reading this book makes you wonder about your own existance, and gives the reader another point of view regarding life. The concept of enjoying your life, no matter which is your current situation, it is also brought up. On the other hand, I think this book should have gone more in depth with some aspects. In my opinion, there was a lot of questions to be highlighted that the writter didn't mention. Knowing the author, probably he had already thought about them, but due to extension issues, he had to shorten the story, and therefore, to write it in a more shallow way. To conclude, I wpuld recommend Gaarder's novel, because it makes the reader to wonder about different aspects of life that maybe they would never have thought about. Nevertheless, I would like this book to be more extense, and therefore, to go more in depth in some aspects. PD: Thank you in advance for reading my text! :)
