Focused and unassuming fifth generation cider-maker Sanna Lund has one desire: to live a simple, quiet life on her family's apple orchard in Door County, Wisconsin. Although her business is struggling, Sanna remains fiercely devoted to the orchard, despite her brother's attempts to convince their aging father to sell the land.

Single dad Isaac Banks has spent years trying to shield his son, Sebastian, from his troubled mother. Fleeing heartbreak at home, Isaac packed up their lives and the two headed out on an adventure, driving across the country. Chance - or fate - led them straight to Sanna's orchard.

Isaac's helping hands are much appreciated at the apple farm, even more when Sanna's father is injured in an accident. As Sanna's formerly simple life becomes increasingly complicated, she finds solace in unexpected places - friendship with young Sebastian and something more deliciously complex with Isaac - until an outside threat infiltrates the farm.

From the warm and funny Amy E. Reichert, The Simplicity of Cider is a charming love story with a touch of magic, perfect for fans of Sarah Addison Allen and Gayle Forman.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Reichert captures the food, relationships, and unique settings of the Midwest at their best. I was absolutely charmed by The Simplicity of Cider." (J. Ryan Stradal, New York Times best-selling author)

"Narrator Rachel Dulude's natural voice quietly appeals in this charming story of family, apple cider, and a touch of the mystic....Dulude excels with her subtle portrayals, capturing the cautious reluctance of Sanna, the endearing gruffness of her father, and the lively energy of young Bass."

I didn’t love how stubborn the main character was, but maybe that’s because I know so many people like her or have been like her… anyways, predictable to an extent, but good. Realistic take on “the hot guy comes to town and swoops in to save the family farm” that Hallmark loves so much. This story actually goes into the community and family involved in something like that. After this read, I do want to visit this place!

Like a Hallmark, but far better

With lush descriptions and an intricate plot, Amy Reacher's Simplicity of Cider is a special treat for hard apple cider aficionados who love strong female lead characters in their women's fiction, and authentic evocations of the charms of Midwest orchard country. Everyone else will love it too!

A Multi-category Joy

My biggest problem was the ending. Crimes were committed, but we don’t know what happened to the bad guy. Was there enough evidence? Did he to go to jail? He didn’t pay restitution to the victims. What was done to him? When you have good guys and bad guys in a story, it feels unfinished when there is no justice. I deducted a star for that.

I was ok with the heroine being prickly. There was a happy ending for the romantic relationship which I liked.

There was a touch of magic - for example a tree responding to human emotions. It was a minor part of the story.

As a resident of Northeast WI who spends her summers up and down the Door Penninsula, there are some things about this book/narrative that just cause me to cringe. There are certain terms and names that the narrator just butchers and it’s hard to here her say the name Green Bay (if ya know, you know).

Story-boring and predictable but also downright outrageous in the end. It’s also written like a tourists who visits the area every third week of July. As if the author threaded every TripAdvisor hot spot into the writing-very cliché. The one thing you would hope would convey an ounce of passion would be when she writes about the orchard itself but even that is as boring as a flat Diet Coke. I would not recommend this book or audible selection.

Narrator does not help this BORING storyline

I wanted to like this book but there wasn’t a single character that I connected with. I don’t expect flawless characters, but did every one of them have to have such glaring faults? The background and setting (small family orchard in Door County, WI) were lovely, and I was intrigued by the main character’s “sixth sense” in cider-making, but the rest of the story was predictable (Will they lose the farm? Will they fall in love? Will any of the characters act like responsible adults or continue to pout throughout the book until the end?)
Two stars for the recipe at the end of the book-it sounds delicious.

I wanted to like it…
