This is a haunting and tender tale of an orchardist’s solitary existence, thrown into emotional turmoil when he becomes obsessed with nurturing two feral sisters. A hypnotic read, with vivid imagery of nature’s landscape and the human soul. In essence it captures the beauty and sorrow of living alone, and the love and pain of intimate relationships. I read and read and read, and didn’t want to stop.
