peaches

Peach Heaven is a beautiful book based on the rainstorm of Puchon, Korea. This was the day it rained peaches! A powerful monsoon picked the peaches from mountain orchards and quite virtually deposited the fruit in Yangsook's lap. The Yangsook's recollective voice lends a very tender quality to the story. In the author's note we find that peaches are regarded as a very special fruit. The sense of community in the end when everyone helps the farmers with the harvest is a very touching and cherished moment.
