Surprisingly good read
One of the library books i picked up over Easter was Tracy Chevalier's "At the edge of the orchard"
And though the front cover looks like it's from a horror story, this is an historic story based on Johnny Appleseed a travelling apple tree salesman in Ohio in the 1800.
It follows the story of the Goodenough family, and their struggle to establish an apple orchard of eaters in the black swamp.
The story starts of being narrated by the parents, but switches to the youngest son to finish the story.
I found this book a real page turner, the way the author told the story was very clever, making you want to know what happened next.
If you like your historic novels with a bit of fiction mixed in, i would give this one a try.
