Peel back time and glimpse into a viridescent orchard that ebbs with lore, loves and majesty.
Published by Scott T , 9 months ago
I enjoyed the uniqueness of the story and place. Envious of the monstrous quiet. Intrigued by the daily work of orchard life. Characters make the story and the orchard itself is a “pretty” character.
I want more!

This book changed me, and I think she should write more books.
The profound love between Talmadge, his orchard, and the girls is beyond moving.
The Orchardist is a work of art.

Amanda Coplin the author took 8 years of her life and put it into The Orchardist. You can feel all those years with every line you read. The book is quiet and dynamic at the same time. A man tending the orchard takes in two displaced young females he finds on his property. All of their lives are changed. I'm an endings person and the ending is perfect for this book. Not sloppy sentimental all is wonderful ending or a really dark ending either. You will love this book.
