A Few Oranges for Sissy

In A Few Oranges for Sissy, a family is confronted with forced movement and the uncertainty that follows it. At the heart of the story is Sissy, the eldest child, watching an adult world she cannot yet fully understand.

The novel lingers on the point where closeness, care, and fear must share the same space. Through the children’s eyes, small gestures and silences take on new weight, while separation and the loss of home become an intensely human experience.

With a restrained, cinematic sense of tension, the book follows its characters through a journey in which memory and dignity endure even in the hardest circumstances. It is a novel about family, displacement, and the resilience people find when everything around them changes.
