Book
Description
“When Iris unexpectedly inherits her
grandmother's house in the country, she also inherits the painful memories that
live there. Iris gives herself a one-week stay at the old house, after which
she'll make a decision: keep it or sell it. The choice is not so simple,
though, for her grandmother's cottage is an enchanting place, where currant jam
tastes of tears, sparks fly from fingertips, love's embrace makes apple trees
blossom, and the darkest family secrets never stay buried.” – The
Taste of Apple Seeds
My Thoughts
The Taste of
Apple Seeds is a wonderfully descriptive book about family, secrets, love,
and the spirit which binds it all together. The author is excellent at setting
the stage and describing the scenes, but that is really the best part of it
all, at least for me.
I was excited to read this book because it seemed
like it would be such a good story. However, after about halfway through, I was
still mildly bored with what was going on. Nothing that happened was really a
shocker, and the main character, Iris was uninteresting. I couldn’t get
involved in the book or cheer on the characters.
* Thank you

copy of this book for review. All opinions expressed are my own.
