My Apple Days

In a small house in Auvergne, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, Amanda finds what she was searching for after experiencing tragedy: silence and solitude. Among the belongings of the former owner, Madame Yuge, she discovers garden calendars with handwritten notes. Following the advice from the past, Amanda begins to revive the abandoned garden: she sows the beds, grows flowers, and gathers the first harvest of apples. With each blooming bud, with each ripening fruit, hope is awakened within her. Unexpected guests, locals—new meetings also gradually fill her days with meaning and warmth. Melissa Da Costa, whose unique voice has captivated readers in many countries, has created a bright story about the healing power of nature and human involvement, which is worth living until the last page.
