The Orchard Keeper by Cormac McCarthy

cover image for Cormac Mccarthy’s first book may well be his best. Some the finest writing you’re likely to encounter in a contemporary novel — particularly the bits about landscape and the mountains of Tennessee. The Orchard Keeper isn’t as dark as some of his other books, so if you’ve been put off by the descriptions on the back of some of his books (and I know I have), give this one a try.
