    Set in rural Tennessee between the world wars, The Orchard Keeper is the unique, darkly biblical debut novel from the legendary author of Blood Meridian and The Road, Cormac McCarthy.

    'McCarthy has the best kind of Southern style' – New York Times

    John Wesley Rattner is a young boy when his father is murdered. Marion Sylder, an outlaw and bootlegger, strangled him to death.

    By chance, John and Marion will meet. They will not recognise each other; John will not know what this man has done.

    An experimental debut following in the footsteps of William Faulkner, this is a magnificent conjuring of an American landscape – and a devastating portrayal of innocence lost.

    'A complicated and evocative exposition of the transience of life' – Harper’s
