The story centers on ten-year-old Alyssa (Alya in some translations). Since the death of her mother, her father has retreated into himself, filling their house not with furniture or friends, but with books. He is writing a "History of the Lemon," an academic pursuit that serves as a shield against the real world. He warns Alyssa against the dangers of fiction, believing that made-up stories only lead to pain. Limon Kutuphanesi - Jo Cotterill
