The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy
5.0

Astonishingly accomplished considering that this was McCarthy’s debut novel. His dense and detailed prose flows like poetry. His characters and this world he has created, although oblique at times, are so heavily detailed and lived in that you can almost see it, taste it and feel it yourself. My heart was pounding as the lives of our three main characters overlapped, all of them unknowingly connected by one horrible act of violence in the past. Absolutely wonderful.
