It makes us realize how far we’ve come in some ways and how not far we’ve come in others. It’s actually fascinating to consider a book from 36 years ago (!!) that tackles so many issues that are germane today. The book is warm and funny and really smart. The tale of a girl in the North of England who is adopted by an evangelical couple, Oranges handles huge questions of sexuality, class, loyalty and religion with the deftest, lightest touch. If you did, you’ll be happy to know that the novel still feels remarkable. If you didn’t get caught up in the Oranges CRAZE back in 1985, you are in for a treat.
