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?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47548193767660,"sku":"9781837261178","price":27.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2e749a8b9bbf4e83c5679527bf724ba3.jpg?v=1776908958","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/foreign-fruit-by-katie-goh-9781837261178","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
