word from the editor : Joanne Harris demonstrated mastery of a large novel to give us his most accomplished novel. Five Quarters of the Orange subtly describes the mother-daughter relationships, the ties that bind the present with the past. It is the novel of passion, full of sensuality, in the bucolic setting of a village rocked by the stream.
