WINNER OF THE GREEK STATE PRIZE FOR LITERATURE AND THE BOOK CRITICS' AWARD. NEW IN PAPERBACK. Zigzag through the Bitter-Orange Treeswas first published in Greece, where it was acclaimed as the best novel of the decade. It 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.

With disarming power, Sotiropoulos portrays the conflicted world of the young-passionate and cynical, beautiful and grotesque.
