A Winter Read!

Into Bath on a chilly afternoon to meet up with my book group friends. Once inside, we were all warm and cosy in front of the fire, and the Ginger Cake was very good. We all really enjoyed our latest read and would thoroughly recommend it (details below for anyone interested). Unlike us, Buster wasn’t very impressed with the book, he was far more interested in the Dreamies!

“In 1830s Ohio, the Goodenough family barely scratch out a living in the inhospitable Black Swamp. Robert and his sister Martha must watch as their parents' marriage is torn apart by disputes over whether to grow sweet apples to eat or sour apples for cider and applejack. One particularly vicious fight sends Robert out alone across America, far from his sister, into a life dominated not by apple trees but by the mighty redwoods and sequoias of California.” https://www.amazon.co.uk/At-Edge-Orchard-Tracy-Chevalier/dp/0007350406/ref=tmm_pap_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1547571967&sr=8-1
