ORCHARD HOUSE
Book ID/图书代码： 01240013B60233
English Summary/英文概要： ORCHARD HOUSE is a profoundly moving memoir of rediscovering, reinventing, and reconnecting as one family comes together to revive a deeply neglected garden and, ultimately, themselves. It is a mother-daughter story, with themes of family and community, it is about embracing the struggles and joys in our relationships (whether we chose them or not), and it’s about making the most of a life that is given to you in broken pieces.
Imagine The Secret Garden for grownups--a group of misfits who happen to be related to each other, trying to capture the magic, trying to grow strong, trying to grow together, trying to pass down all that is good, all while weeding out that which is not. A search for family, community, and a better life, all inspired by flora.
The audience for this book is farm-to-table foodies, urban agriculturists, and backyard weekend gardeners who will be inspired by both the prose and the musings on the dishes created from the garden’s harvest. Seattle, where the book is set, is almost considered a character itself in the way the author threads the locale in to the story. The typical gardener is a college-educated female--this is also the typical bookbuyer and target audience for ORCHARD HOUSE. The book provides crossover from book clubs to garden clubs.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 《果园的房子》是一个感人肺腑的关于重新发现，重新连接和重塑的回忆录，一个家庭聚在一起复苏一个被深深忽视的花园，最终唤醒他们自己的故事。这是一个母亲和女儿的故事，关于家庭和社区的主题，关于拥抱我们关系中的挣扎和欢乐的故事（我们是否选择接受或不），关于将碎片合成生活的故事。
想象一下成长的“秘密花园”——一群碰巧彼此相关但格格不入的人，试图捕捉魔法，想变得强壮，想一起成长，试图流传所有好的东西，而淘汰那些不好的。对家庭，社区和更好的生活的寻求，而所有的灵感都来自植物。
这本书的读者是农产品美食家，城市农学家和周末后院园丁，他们将从散文和花园丰收做成的菜肴的沉思中得到启发。故事的背景设置在西雅图，作者在故事中呈现场所的方式几乎就像人物本身。这个代表性的的园丁是个受过大学教育的女性——这也是《果园的房子》的典型购买者和目标读者。本书提供了从读书俱乐部到花园俱乐部的交叉。(LNL)
