Advance Praise for AT THE EDGE OF THE ORCHARD
Chevalier is a master at foregrounding the small, dramatic stories of overlooked people from the past.
Geraldine Brooks
Sometimes, a book comes along that somehow ticks all the boxes. This is one of those books: The voices are rich and individual; the attention to detail impressive; the scent of apples, damp earth, and pines runs potently through the whole. A joy.
Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat
A heartbreaking narrative of an Ohio pioneer family s struggles A pleasureable literary experience.

Joanne Harris, author of Chocolat
With impeccable research and flawless prose, Chevalier perfectly conjures the grandeur of the pristine Wild West Robertencounters, the bawdiness of the period, and the commanding needs of the everyday adventurers male and female who were bold enough or foolish enough to be drawn to the unknown. She crafts for us an excellent experience.

"Washington Times"
