Bookshop Santa Cruz is thrilled to welcome author Amanda Coplin for the celebration of the paperback release of her debut novel, The Orchadist, along with a reading, signing and Q&A session. Simultaneously intimate and epic, The Orchadist is historical fiction at its best, following in the grand literary tradition of such renowned authors as Michael Ondaatje, Marilynne Robinson, and Annie Proulx. The novel is set in the late 1800's in upper-state Washington, and tells the tale of a solitary orchardist who provides shelter to two runaway teenage girls in the untamed American West, and the dramatic consequences of his actions.
