Harold Bindloss 
Thurston of Orchard Valley 

The remarkably prolific author Harold Bindloss was born and died in England, but he spent many of the intervening years working odd jobs in exotic locales around the world as a means of sating his unquenchable wanderlust. His novel Thurston of Orchard Valley introduces readers to the gruff, hardscrabble Geoffrey Thurston, who, like a long line of his forebears, works the land. When an unlikely romance blossoms, Thurston’s routine existence is rent asunder.
