A review by gretchzky
The Orchard by Peter Heller

1.0

I had read a ton of praise for this book, which fell pretty flat for me. We meet a character in present day and then hear a lot of reflection on how she was raised. I felt the character wasn’t compelling enough to give me a reason to listen to her whole life story, and it didn’t hook me into caring enough. I finished it out of obligation; but the entire thing felt very anticlimactic and dull.
