At the turn of the 20th hundred years, in a rural stretch of the Pacific Northwest, a reclusive orchardist, William Talmadge, tends to apples and apricots as if they were loved ones. A delicate man, he's found solace in the sweetness of the fruit he develops and the quiet, beating heart of the land he cultivates. One day, two teenage girls appear and take his fruit from the marketplace; they later go back to the outskirts of his orchard to see the man who provided them no chase. Feral, scared, and incredibly pregnant, girls take up on Talmadge's land and indulge in his deep tank of compassion. Just as girls start to trust him, men get to the orchard with guns, and the shattering tragedy that follows will established Talmadge on an irrevocable course not and then save and protect but also to reconcile the spirits of his own stressed past. Transcribing America as it was previously before railways and roads connected its corners, Amanda Coplin weaves a tapestry of solitary souls who come together in the wake of unspeakable cruelty and misfortune. She writes with breathtaking detail and empathy, and in The Orchardist she crafts an astonishing debut novel in regards to a man who disrupts the depressed harmony of the ordered life when he opens his heart and lets the earth in.
