New York Times Bestseller “A stunning accomplishment, hypnotic in its storytelling power, by turns lyrical and gritty, and filled with marvels.” National Public Radio The Orchardist A Novel Amanda Cooper Landscape fills the cover; text is brown, white and black. From the top down a sky is cloud streaked with orange glow on the right suggesting sunset. Sandstone colored mountains with patches of dense forest along with sparsely wooded terrain suggest logging took place here or drier climate reigns. A cluster of buildings including a red barn in the meadow with pruned branches in the foreground seem idyllic.
