COMP CLOSED: Win Karen Viggers’ latest novel ‘The Orchardist’s Daughter’

This week we have three copies of The Orchardist’s Daughter by Karen Viggers to give away.

A story of freedom, forgiveness and finding the strength to break free. International bestselling writer Karen Viggers returns to remote Tasmania, the setting of her most popular novel The Lightkeeper's Wife.

Sixteen-year-old Mikaela has grown up isolated and homeschooled on an apple orchard in southeastern Tasmania until an unexpected event shatters her family. Eighteen months later, she and her older brother Kurt are running a small business in a timber town. Miki longs to make connections and spend more time in her beloved forest, but she is kept a virtual prisoner by Kurt, who leads a secret life of his own.

When Miki meets Leon, another outsider, things slowly begin to change. But the power to stand up for yourself must come from within. And Miki has to fight to uncover the truth of her past and discover her strength and spirit.

We have THREE copies to give away thanks to publisher Allen and Unwin. Simply tell us the name of your favourite fruit and why (in 25 words or fewer) and our three favourites will win!

Entries close midday Monday 4 March 2019, Sydney/Melbourne time.
