A fascinating excursion into an intriguing world Trudie Barreras This is truly an extraordinary book; nothing in my previous reading experience, copious and varied as it has been during over six decades of being an unregenerate bookworm, comes close to Amanda Coplin's epic work. I call it epic, because in many ways, it seemed at times to read like a major narrative poem, although certainly not set in verse format.Having said this much, I find myself truly at a loss as to how to continue. One of the things which I found most difficult was to genuinely relate to the characters and situations,.

Talmadge deals with his guilt over not having protected her by taking in two abused, pregnant young sisters who wander onto his property years later. When one of the sisters commits suicide and the other, Della, leaves to pursue
Coplin’s characters are deeply rooted in the mystery of the American West, and she brings them together, like the grafting of Talmadge’s trees, to form a unique family bound not by blood but by the shared experience of tragedy, the land, and ultimately fate.--Seira Wilson. Best Books of the Month, August 2012: Set against the rugged beauty of Washington State at the turn of the twentieth century, Amanda Coplin’s debut novel, The Orchardist, introduces readers to William Talmadge and his lovingly cultivated orchards of apples and apricots
