This is a book about women. It's a book about motherhood, where the appletree symbolizes the body of the woman - the fruit she's bringing to life, nursing and carrying as long as she's able too. It's about the working class, working class literature, that shows a perspective that seldom shows in the working class literature: the female perspective. (
