I rarely read contemporary novels. They're not my forte but I really enjoyed this one, and really learned a lot about orange groves. There's some historical storyline, mystery, sadness, upheaval as well as hope and painful romance. Keeps you turning the pages as they're uncovering the mysteries and then to see what they are going to do. You have to feel involved with the characters. Excellent read!
I received this book free from the author. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
