review 1: You might see this book labeled as a romance, and yes, there is definitely a romance (or two or three), but it is so much more that. The Enchanted orchards is a story about searching for meaning in the death of someone you love more than life. It is the story of coming to grips with the fact that you might never find know the meaning of their death, but that you can find strength will to let go, move on, and keep living.
review 2: I always have a little trouble falling in love with the first person perspective. If the story is strong enough to draw me in, however, I find that I can get past my issues and really enjoy the book. After I got used to the way the narrator switches from what's going on in her life to talking to her sister, I really began to fall for
... morethe telling of the tale. There's tons of really beautiful prose in the book that adds magic and poignancy to both the setting and the characters. This book was really about the struggle for the spirituality and renewal of the characters in the long run. There was an interesting list of characters. Everyone was just a little quirky, which just made it seem all the more real. Just when I was starting to lose patience with the main characters, things began to happen. I really enjoyed Kristin Maddock's writing, and the plotline. And as a writer, I envied her the gift of writing a story that centered so much on the setting. If she based it on a real place, I'd love to visit there some not-so-hot end of summer day. less
