Fata Cu Portocale by Jostein Gaarder

A teenage boy discovers a letter from his late father that tells of a chance encounter with a mysterious girl carrying oranges, a meeting that blossoms into a love story shaped by coincidences and quiet wonder. As the father’s tale unfolds, it becomes a heartfelt meditation on fate, the joy and fragility of life, and the meaning of choosing to live fully despite mortality. The letter invites the son into an intimate dialogue across time, ending with a profound question only he can answer.
