Sultan S, Spector J, Mitchell RM (December 2006). "Ischemic colitis associated with use of a bitter orange-containing dietary weight-loss supplement". Mayo Clinic Proceedings. 81 (12): 1630–1. doi: 10.4065/81.12.1630. PMID 17165643. de okuyan, Ummanlı Zuhur adlı bir genç kadının ağzından hayatını, arkadaşlarını ama en çok da yitip gitmiş büyükannesini, "Amir'in Kızı"nı dinliyoruz. Zuhur günümüzde geçen öyküsünü anlatırken bambaşka bir kuşağın ve bambaşka bir kültürün temsilcisi büyükannesini şefkat ve yer yer pişmanlıkla anımsıyor ve anımsadıkça aslında aradan geçen iki kuşağa rağmen yaşadıkları sorunların ne kadar benzediğini ortaya koyuyor. Coğrafya kader midir bilemem ama sonuçta bu kadınların ortak çabaları ve acıları var, bunu görüyoruz. It’s 1969 and 39-year old Frances takes a job at Lyntons, a rundown country mansion. She is tasked with assessing the architecture throughout the property. Also staying there for related work projects are Peter and his girlfriend, Cara. Frances has had a limited social life and knows no true friends. Up until this point, she’s spent most of her life caring for her ill mother who recently passed away. To her surprise and delight, Cara and Peter invite her to join them for dinner one night and insist she must continue to dine with them while they’re all staying in the house. Their friendship forms but all is not what it seems. There’s serious tension between Peter and Cara, and due to her limited social life, Frances is often unsure how to navigate these quarrels. I had no idea what a haunting, creative storyline this would be that would find itself hidden behind that gorgeous cover. Claire Fuller carves her words into a deftly atmospheric telling surrounded by the lush English countryside. As the reader leans in, the fragrance of tart, over-ripened fruit fills the air. And there are plenty of sharp-edged seeds hiding within the fleshy pulp. This novel has all these elements, but also asks the reader to work a few things out on their own. So, while this book certainly stimulates the senses, it also gives the brain a little exercise, too.Morton, Julia (1987). Fruits of warm climates. Miami: Morton, J. 1987. Sour Orange. p. 130–133. In: Fruits of warm climates. Julia F. Morton, Miami, FL. pp.130–133. ISBN 0-9610184-1-0. As AN ADULT - Frances shared a bedroom in the same bed with her mother in an apt. in London. There ‘was’ a second bedroom - but mother used it for ‘her’ clothes. Not only did Frances take care of her for ten years before her mother died - she took in her mother’s critical words which Frances inhabited as part of her own inner judgmental voice after her death - telling her what to do. He strokes my hair and doesn't answer, or I haven't spoken. Perhaps he believes that pain as well as joy makes us who we are."

Int J Med Sci. 9 (7): 527–538. doi: 10.7150/ijms.4446. PMC 3444973. PMID 22991491. Frances hoped she would discover a Palladian Bridge more elegant than those at Wilton or Prior Park...... but.....it was not as she hoped. Yet ....walking by the lake or through the woods that were dense and spongy - undisturbed for years - had a quiet type ‘elegance’ with a gothic type of appreciation. The narrator of Fuller’s new novel, Frances Jellicot, is in her 60s in ailing health. Bits and pieces of her memories from a few fateful weeks in her past are scattered through her conversation with a visitor, as are hints about her current living situation. The tale she tells is of a love triangle gone wrong (do those ever go right, really?) in the creepiest of places, a decaying English country manor that has sat empty since World War II, during which the Army requisitioned it. Celestial Bodies, Marilyn Booth's translation of سيدات القمر ((2010by جوخة الحارثي (Jokha Alharthi) won the 2019 Man Booker International. It certainly wasn't my favourite on the shortlist, but I felt it was an interesting choice by the judges, a book whose strengths lay in its deep cultural insights and clever construction.Miss Jellico, our unworldly main protag, is one of life's bystanders when it comes to hugging, kissing and general frivolity. Therefore it comes as a great surprise - not least of all to Frances - that she becomes friends with cool hedonists, Cara and Peter.

Duenwald, Mary (2005-10-11). "Bitter Orange Under Scrutiny as New Ephedra". The New York Times . Retrieved 2008-11-03. There are four characters in this novel, Frances, the narrator, a couple Cara and Peter, and a vicar, Victor.These are small caveats, for Fuller is an accomplished and serious writer who has the ability to implant interesting psychological dimensions into plotty, pacy narratives. A few years ago, her debut, Our Endless Numbered Days, won the Desmond Elliott prize and saw her inclusion in the Observer’s annual showcase of new talent; her second novel, Swimming Lessons, was shortlisted for the RSL Encore award, of which I was a judge. On the basis of this new book, she has many more stories to tell.
