'Five Oranges' is the sequel to 'Saigon Tea', so it will be a joy to readers who have had the pleasure of meeting the
characters Frank and Eileen, Jimmy and Stella, Danny and Mai.
The exploits of the characters as they holiday in Australia and brave the Vietnamese underworld make for hilarious reading. Graham Reilly also gives us a real and touching insight into the lives of two middle-aged couples who are resigned to their routines.
Frank and Eileen, for instance, have an odd but happy marriage in which most of their leisure time is spent watching nature documentaries on the Discovery Channel, with a nice bit of kinky sex afterwards. Particularly endearing are Danny from Scotland and Mai from Vietnam, who have settled in Melbourne and love each other with a passion.
