The Memory Trees by Kali Wallace
4.0
I really enjoyed this. It’s well written and intriguing. The pacing feels a bit slow in places but I really like how that means we get bits and pieces of the history throughout the story. And the ending is a gorgeous way of summing it up.
My only real quibbles were not getting enough information - how is the orchard lined to their family? I definitely also need more on why the family history is so strained between them and the Abrams - I know you get bits but the level of anger over boundary lines and several people getting shot seems a bit more than what is laid out. And why did their family evolve how it did? I always like when I am left wanting so much more information but here were bits I wished were included to improve the story. However, a really interesting read!
