Meu Pé de Laranja Lima (English: My Sweet Orange Tree) is a novel by José Mauro de Vasconcelos. The book was first published in 1968 and was used for literature classes for elementary schools in Brazil. It has also been translated and published in the US, Europe and Asia.The novel is part of a tetralogy written by Vasconcelos and centered on different stages in the life of the protagonist, Zeze, and, by extension, Vasconcelos. The four books were published in a disorganized order, following an aleatory chronology instead of a direct one. The direct continuation of the story, Doidão, was actually published in 1963, five years before My Sweet Orange Tree, and follows the life of Zeze during his adolescence. The book was first published in 1968 by Ed. Melhoramentos in São Paulo, Brazil and was written in Portuguese. A film adaptation was released in 2012. Source: Wikipedia (en)
