false 46569 1 Zigzag through the Bitter-Orange Trees was first published in Greece, where it was acclaimed as "the best novel of the decade" and became the first novel to win both the Greek State Prize for Literature and the prestigious Book Critics' Award. Zigzag through the Bitter-Orange Trees weaves together the stories of four disparate young people in modern Greece: Lia, dying in the hospital from a mysterious virus; her brother Sid, the disaffected wanderer, her only remaining connection to the outside world; Lia's nurse Sotiris, an unstable blend of cowardice and desire; and the twelve-year-old rebel Nina, who dreams to break away from the humdrum life around her. Their four unforgettable voices mingle in a poignant black comedy of isolation and yearning, illusion and vengeance and the hunger for connection. With disarming power, Sotiropoulos portrays the conflicted world of the young--passionate and cynical, beautiful and grotesque. 45683 30 10 2006 Zigzag Through the Bitter-Orange Trees total:11|5:3|4:3|3:3|2:2| 11 40 20 2 5 0 false false Wed Jul 29 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 22:34:29 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 19 22:40:33 -0700 2009 more...]]> 0 0 false false Mon Jun 02 04:39:00 -0700 2008 Mon Jun 02 04:39:30 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed Oct 21 20:24:31 -0700 2009 Wed Oct 21 20:24:46 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 27 04:06:25 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 27 04:06:36 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Sun Jul 05 04:49:17 -0700 2009 Sun Jul 05 04:49:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jun 01 09:26:28 -0700 2009 Mon Jun 01 09:26:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Mar 20 15:38:34 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 15:38:34 -0700 2009 2 0 false false Mon Mar 30 08:58:13 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 16 07:52:41 -0700 2009 Mon Mar 30 08:58:13 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Thu Feb 19 18:22:35 -0800 2009 Thu Feb 19 18:22:35 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Feb 10 18:36:26 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 18:37:14 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Tue Aug 05 14:26:28 -0700 2008 Tue Aug 05 14:26:28 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon May 19 06:38:29 -0700 2008 Mon May 19 06:39:11 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Wed May 14 09:35:22 -0700 2008 Wed May 14 09:35:25 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri May 02 08:45:08 -0700 2008 Fri May 02 08:45:09 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Sun Mar 09 23:19:53 -0700 2008 Mon Mar 24 16:36:28 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Thu Jan 17 17:30:30 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 17 17:30:30 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jan 03 12:48:51 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 03 12:49:02 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sun Dec 30 09:26:33 -0800 2007 Sun Dec 30 09:26:33 -0800 2007 0 0 false false Thu Jul 26 15:31:51 -0700 2007 Thu Jul 26 15:31:51 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Fri Jun 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Jun 15 12:21:03 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 20 15:14:46 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=46569
