‘Through the Groves: A Memoir’By Anne Hullc.2023, Henry Holt$26.99/224 pages You can’t see the forest for the trees.
Fluffy pines, and oaks that started growing before your parents were born. Tall willows, towering cottonwoods that create a canopy far above you.
The forest soothes your mind; if you have an out-of-control imagination, it offers a good scare. Nature’s there, and in the new book “Through the Groves” by Anne Hull, you’ll find memories, too.
She still recalls the smell and the heat and the pesticides. Anne Hull was her daddy’s sidekick the summer she was six years old, riding along with him on his job as a fruit buyer in the middle of Florida where rows of orange trees stretched for miles.
