Summary/Abstract Georg Roed's father died when he was four. Now aged fifteen, he never expected to hear from his dad again, but pictures, furniture and old videos remind Georg of his father. Georg is writing now because his grandmother found a letter addressed to him in the lining of his old buggy. Georg's father had hidden it there as a 'letter to the future', which allows Georg to get to know him in a way he couldn't eleven years ago. But the person who figures most in the letter is not actually Georg's father, it is the mysterious and beautiful Orange Girl.

Before she knows it, she is pondering all the great questions of Western philosophy (from the Greeks to Kant, to Marx and Freud) with a mysterious mentor. But Sophie is also receiving a separate batch of equally unusual letters. Who is Hilde? And why does her mail keep turning up in Sophie's world? To solve this riddle, Sophie uses her new knowledge of philosophy, but the truth is far stranger than she could have imagined.
