"This 1976 book, still in print in France as La Cuisine du Marché, was a strong inspiration to both my mother and my childhood self. The book played a big part in fueling my passion for food and cooking. I must have read it a thousand times—I fantasized over every recipe when I should have been doing my homework!"

Movie Favorite

"In The Apu Trilogy, Satyajit Ray follows his resilient character Apu from childhood. In The World of Apu (Apur Sansar), the trilogy’s final chapter, Apu finds adulthood through one of the most compelling and exquisitely crafted plots in film history. This is not an exaggeration. The ending is so earned and emotional that you feel like it has happened to you."

AT (1676 KP) rated Orphans, Vol. 1: The Beginning in Books

Jul 13, 2019

Orphans jumps back and forth between the period of childhood when the group of orphans lost their families, and when they are young adult soldiers. It's easy to follow, though. I wasn't sure I was liking the story until about halfway through. I did end up liking it, and look forward to reading the next volume. The story has good potential.
