From internationally bestselling author Tracy Chevalier, a riveting drama of a pioneer family on the American frontier
1838: James and Sadie Goodenough have settled where their wagon got stuck – in the muddy, stagnant swamps of northwest Ohio. They and their five children work relentlessly to tame their patch of land, buying saplings from a local tree man known as John Appleseed so they can cultivate the fifty apple trees required to stake their claim on the property. But the orchard they plant sows the seeds of a long battle. James loves the apples, reminders of an easier life back in Connecticut; while Sadie prefers the applejack they make, an alcoholic refuge from brutal frontier life.
1853: Their youngest child Robert is wandering through Gold Rush California. Restless and haunted by the broken family he left behind, he has made his way alone across the country. In the redwood and giant sequoia groves he finds some solace, collecting seeds for a naturalist who sells plants from the new world to the gardeners of England. But you can run only so far, even in America, and when Robert’s past makes an unexpected appearance he must decide whether to strike out again or stake his own claim to a home at last.
Chevalier tells a fierce, beautifully crafted story in At the Edge of the Orchard, her most graceful and richly imagined work yet.

Recensione:
Globe and Mail Fiction Bestseller
“Chevalier is a master at foregrounding the small, dramatic stories of overlooked people from the past.”
—Geraldine Brooks
“Sometimes, a book comes along that somehow ticks all the boxes. This is one of those books: The voices are rich and individual; the attention to detail impressive; the scent of apples, damp earth, and pines runs potently through the whole. A joy.”
—Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat
“With impeccable research and flawless prose, Chevalier perfectly conjures the grandeur of the pristine Wild West Robert encounters, the bawdiness of the period, and the commanding needs of the everyday adventurers — male and female — who were bold enough or foolish enough to be drawn to the unknown. She crafts for us an excellent experience.”
—USA Today
“A well written tale about people with courage, including strong women who make the best of what life offers.”
—Washington Times
“Chevalier is a gifted conjurer.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Excellently researched...brings to life a seminal chapter in American history...A compelling look at what was lost and gained in westward expansion.”
—People
“A heartbreaking narrative of an Ohio pioneer family’s struggles...A pleasureable literary experience.”
—BookPage
“Chevalier’s research is painstakingly detailed without weighing down the story...Chevalier has created a patchwork of stories...together they form a picture of lives wrested from an unforgiving land, but with a promise of renewal.”
—The Guardian

Praise for Tracy Chevalier:

—The New Yorker (on Girl With a Pearl Earring)
“Chevalier admirably weaves historical figures and actual events into a compelling narrative.”
—San Francisco Chronicle (on Remarkable Creatures)
"Chevalier's signature talent lies in bringing alive the ordinary day-to-dayness of the past...lovingly evoked."
—Elle (on Burning Bright)
"Chevalier's ringing prose is as radiantly efficient as well-tended silver."
—Entertainment Weekly (on Falling Angels)
