At the Edge of the Orchard

Author: Tracy Chevalier
Stars: 2
Review by: libraryaimee


I listened to the audiobook.  I cheated because I listened to the first 2 discs, but then the characters were so distasteful that I had to skip to the last disc.  The beginning of the story is narrated by a husband and a wife who are frontier settlers...Johnny Appleseed sells them seeds and seedlings for an orchard.  The second half is narrated by one of their sons.  Once the son starts narrating the story is more tolerable.  The parents were so horrible and evil to each other and to their kids that it was the first time I ever couldn't read a book because I hated the main characters so much!
