A review by nearly_empty_nesting
At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier

4.0

Told in two generations,   this book shows the darker side of a family going West in the 1800's.   Isolation,  domestic violence,  loss,  illness.  The impact on this family is monumental and devastating.     

I don't know that I was prepared for how dark this was going to be going into the book, but I did appreciate the journey
