Named a Book of the Year by both the Guardian and Chapters/Indigo, In the Orchard, the Swallows is a moving story of lost love in war-torn Pakistan - now available in a book club edition. In the foothills of a mountain range in northern Pakistan is a beautiful orchard. Swallows wheel and dive silently over the branches, and the scent of jasmine threads through the air. Pomegranates hang heavy, their skins darkening to a deep crimson. Neglected now, the trees are beginning to grow wild, their fruit left to spoil on the branches. Many miles away, a frail young man is flung out of prison gates. Looking up, scanning the horizon for swallows in flight, he stumbles and collapses in the roadside dust. His ravaged body tells the story of fifteen years of brutality. Just one image has held and sustained him through the dark times - the thought of the young girl who had left him dumbstruck with wonder all those years ago, whose eyes were lit up with life. A tale of tenderness in the face of great and corrupt power, In the Orchard, the Swallows is a heartbreaking novel written in prose of exquisite stillness and beauty. | In the Orchard the Swallows by Peter Hobbs, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
