In the charming town of Peasebrook, there's a place for everyone. War vet Joe has made new friends and a new home for himself here, overlooking a beautiful apple orchard. But when tragedy strikes and Joe is left out in the cold, it will bring them all together in entirely unexpected ways . . .
A delightful but incredibly short story, set in Peasebrook. It is a small heart warming tale about a man's life who is a bit down on his luck and how the community feel about him.
I loved even this short visit to Peasebrook, as it was the setting for the authors two most recent full length novels, and I loved seeing characters that I have met before in this.
The Apple Orchard is the sort of book that is ideal as a quick read in a lunch break...in fact I didn't even finish eating before I had hit the end of the story!
Often short stories can feel rushed or you don't get too much sense of any depth on characters, but that is definitely not the case here. This a rounded look at one person's life and feels like the perfect length for this piece of writing.
Thank you to everyone that voted for Veronica Henry this week, it was a very close contest, and given how little I've been reading in the heatwave, it was a relief that you picked the nice quick book for me! However I wonder what will win this week!
