THE WILD CHERRY TREE
The Wild Cherry Tree is a late collection of ten tales including comic vignettes, a humorous celebration of the sensual life, and several explorations of love, loneliness, and problematic relationships. The Wild Cherry Tree sees the wife of a pig-farmer who dresses like a shabby, straddling scarecrow as she tends her pigs by day, but, alone in the evenings, adorns herself in exotic clothes and jewels without leaving the house. That is until one day, when she has to deal with the consequences.
