THE SECRETS OF the past meet the shocks of the present. Aslaug is an unusual young woman. Her mother has brought her up in near isolation, teaching her about plants and nature and language--but not about life. Especially not how she came to have her own life, and who her father might be. When Aslaug's mother dies unexpectedly, everything changes. For Aslaug is a suspect in her mother's death. And the more her story unravels, the more questions unfold. About the nature of Aslaug's birth. About what she should do next. About whether divine miracles have truly happened. And whether, when all other explanations are impossible, they might still happen this very day. Addictive, thought-provoking, and shocking, Madapple is a page-turning exploration of human nature and divine intervention--and of the darkest corners of the human soul.… (mer)

This was a really hard book to for me to read, just because of the abuse that the girl went through. A story about a sick family. Very disturbing to me. But, I must say it's a book you keep thinking about. The characters were interesting and the religious aspect was also. I thought the author's knowledge of plants was very interesting. (

All around great book. Very thought-provoking. I devoured it in one sitting. (

I was pleasantly surprised with this book. It was a little difficult to get into at first, but it's a fascinating read the further I got into it. It brought up some rather interesting questions about Christianity and its origins that I found intriguing. (

This book was interesting, but I never really loved the protagonist or any of the characters. I did enjoy the botanical bits though! (

This must have been on my list because it takes place in Maine. Little did I know it would be populated by over-educated evangelical totally batshit Danes. The discussions about poisonous herbs and gnostic gospels were kind of interesting but it was all a little too Lars Von Triers for me. (

The women resemble schoolgirls with gangly limbs, ruddy cheeks, plaited flaxen hair; they walk holding hands.
