I think this is the third book by Amy E. Reichert I have read. They are memorable because they all are written within the same theme and genre – women’s fiction with a sweet touch of romance. Because I enjoyed the other two so much, I was very excited to be able to review this new release.
Set in apple country USA, this book has a unique endearing quality to it that had me reading for hours, right u until I finished it! Check out my thoughts on this delightful novel.
THE SIMPLICITY OF CIDER by Amy E. Reichert
Publisher: Gallery Books (May 16, 2017)
ISBN-13: 978-1501154928
Synopsis:
Focused and unassuming fifth generation cider-maker Sanna Lund has one desire: to live a simple, quiet life on her family’s apple orchard in Door County, Wisconsin. Although her business is struggling, Sanna remains fiercely devoted to the orchard, despite her brother’s attempts to convince their aging father to sell the land.
Single dad Isaac Banks has spent years trying to shield his son Sebastian from his troubled mother. Fleeing heartbreak at home, Isaac packed up their lives and the two headed out on an adventure, driving across the country. Chance—or fate—led them straight to Sanna’s orchard.
Isaac’s helping hands are much appreciated at the apple farm, even more when Sanna’s father is injured in an accident. As Sanna’s formerly simple life becomes increasingly complicated, she finds solace in unexpected places—friendship with young Sebastian and something more deliciously complex with Isaac—until an outside threat infiltrates the farm.
THE SIMPLICITY OF CIDER by Amy E. Reichert Review
The author really took this new book to new heights. The Simplicity of Cider is extremely well written. Her characters are interesting and unique and she captured them perfectly.
You can just feel the uncomfortableness in Sanna. The strain of family, finances, and not knowing anything about feelings, let alone how to deal with the newcomer, Isaac and his son.
Set in a beautiful countryside, the descriptions and details in this book suck you in and make you feel like you are right there watching everything unfold.
I don’t know what it is about this specific book but it is my favorite of hers so far. You can feel the characters passion for the farm and business as well as the developing feelings between the two main characters.
The Simplicity of Cider by Amy E. Reichert is a heartwarming and wholesome book that you will fall in love with. It is Americana at it’s best. This story will reach into your soul and remain there for a long time to come.
