The conclusion of "The Apple Tree Saga", following "Apple Tree Lean Down" and "Jack Mercybright". It portrays the far-reaching effects of World War I and its aftermath on three closely-entwined families in the Worcestershire countryside. By the author of "Seedtime and Harvest" and "Two Farms".

It is 1914, and Betony Izzard is working hard for the war effort. Life with her family and their carpentry business is as busy as ever, but all too soon her brothers William and Roger, and foster brother Tom, are fighting in the trenches in France, and the future is darkly uncertain.

Back home in England, the lives of the Izzards and Mercybrights become entangled and out of sorrow love is born. But the strength of family bonds is tested when events bring shame and suspicion, followed by loss, in the aftermath of the Great War.

I've been clearing out a load of books this week, my husband thinks I'm littering the place with them, but I'm hoping they will find new homes and new owners :)
Please drop a quick comment on here if one has happened your way.
