An American classic, The Orchard Keeper is the first novel by
one of America's finest, most celebrated novelists. Set is a small,
remote community in rural Tennessee in the years between the two
world wars, it tells of John Wesley Rattner, a young boy, and
Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger who, unbeknownst to either
of them, has killed the boy's father. Together with Rattner's Uncle
Ather, who belongs to a former age in his communion with nature and
his stoic independence, they enact a drama that seems born of the
land itself. All three are heroes of an intense and compelling
celebration of values lost to time and industrialization.
