Description
The Orchard Keeper is a debut novel by Cormac McCarthy, set in rural Tennessee between the world wars. In this darkly biblical tale, a young boy's life is forever changed after his father is murdered.
When John and Marion Sylder meet, they will not recognize each other - John will not know what this man has done. This experimental debut follows in the footsteps of William Faulkner, conjuring an American landscape both beautiful and devastating.
A powerful portrayal of innocence lost, The Orchard Keeper is a worthwhile read for fans of literary fiction and those interested in exploring the darker human impulses that shape us.
