The Orchard

 

The Orchard by Peter Heller
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is a beautifully written novel in first person narrative from the perspective of a young girl. It is the story of how she and her mother lived and loved in a cabin in Vermont. It is all about family, friends, commitment, and love. It is so convincingly written that I would have thought it autobiographical if it weren’t written by a man. I will seek others of his books. A five-star read, but language brings it down a star for me.
