At The Edge Of The Orchard

Meer over het boek

In 1830s Ohio, the Goodenough family barely scratch out a living in the inhospitable Black Swamp. Robert must watch as his parents' marriage is torn apart by disputes over whether to grow sweet apples to eat or sour apples for cider. One particularly vicious fight sends Robert out alone across America, into a life dominated not by apple trees but by the mighty redwoods and sequoias of California.
