About this audiobook
In the inhospitable Black Swamp of Ohio, the Goodenough family are barely scratching out a living. Life there is harsh, tempered only by the apples they grow for eating and for the cider that dulls their pain. Hot-headed Sadie and buttoned-up James are a poor match, and Robert and his sister Martha can only watch helplessly as their parents tear each other apart. One particularly vicious fight sends Robert out alone across America, far from his sister, to seek his fortune among the mighty redwoods and sequoias of Gold Rush California. But even across a continent, he can feel the pull of family loyalties…
“A wonderful book; rich, evocative, original. I loved it.” JOANNE HARRIS
“Raw and sumptuous… a delight.” INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY
“A rollicking yarn of 19-century America.” THE TIMES
“A densely packed tale of fruit, roots, family and hardship.” FINANCIAL TIMES

- Carole GregsonRating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5The author’s historical element is always well researched, which I find extremely captivating, particularly in how the story unfolds.
I really enjoyed listening to the The Reader, she captured the essence of the characters, and gave them life in what was a pretty unforgiving environment. Tracy Chevalier doesn’t disappoint….my third experience and still as absorbing!
