At The Edge of the Orchard by Tracey Chevalier

I read this December 2016
I was given it for the charity bokshelf at work, so bought it to read.

et in the 1800's in America, it follows the misdaventures of the Goodenough family, peasant farmers, whose son heads off to Califonia. 
A lot of research about trees and tree collecting. I leant a lot!

Another good book , I do like this author
