The Orchard Keeper Av Cormac Mccarthy

Set in a small, remote community in rural Tennessee in the years between the two world wars, <i>The Orchard Keeper</i> is an early classic from one of America's finest and most celebrated authors. It tells of John Wesley Rattner, a young boy, and Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger who, unbeknownst to either of them, has killed the boy's father. Cormac McCarthy's debut novel is a magnificent evocation of an American landscape, and of a lost American time.
