This floated across my radar a few times and I wasn't particularly interested, but then when I was looking for audiobooks I discovered the Meryl Streep narrates this one, and I was very interested in that. It took me a long time to get into this, and at a certain point I only kept going because of Streep's narration. I really wasn't hooked until I think 60% of the way through. But I did enjoy swapping back and forth between the timelines, and I could really picture the cherry farm.
