The Peach Season

After the murder of her husband, Celia has shut herself and her 16-year-old daughter Zoe away, toiling on a peach farm in the middle of nowhere. The arrival of two young people to help during picking season heralds the beginning of the end for Celia s safe existence. Peach Season is a powerful, salutary tale showing what it s like to be a young person desperate for independence, but also, crucially, what it s like to be a parent during the painful process of letting children fly the nest.
