I could feel every word' ANGELA HUI'Thoughtful, poetic and clear-sighted' CECILE PINThe orange is a souvenir of history.
Across time, it has been a harbinger of God and doom, fortune and failure, pleasure and suffering. It is a fruit containing metaphors, dreams, mythologies, superstitions, parables and histories within its tough rind. So, what happens when the fruit is peeled and each segment - each moment of history, each meaning in time - is pulled apart?In this distinct, subversive and intimate hybrid memoir, Katie Goh explores the orange as a means of understanding the world, and herself within it.
What she reveals is violence, colonialism, resilience, survival, adaptation - and unexpected beauty and sweetness against all odds.
