“It would be easy for me to love this month’s book pick because it’s set in the Pacific Northwest or because it’s a fist novel. The truth is, I’m singing the praises of The Orchardist by Amanda Coplin, because it gets everything right.” – Pennie Ianniciello
Need we say more? Debut author Amanda Coplin’s The Orchardist was chosen by Pennie Ianniciello of Costco as her pick for this month, adding to its IndieNext and New York Times bestseller fame. Check out Earlyword's post.
A beautiful novel written with immense empathy, The Orchardist takes you to a gorgeously imagined Pacific Northwest at the beginning of the twentieth century, telling the story of a reclusive orchard keeper and his experiences with two young pregnant girls that force him to confront his past and change his world forever. You just might want to start an orchard yourself after reading this book.
