Artichoke Tales is a multigenerational story about land, war, and grappling with histories and love stories. The North and South have been at war for decades, and this is the tale of how a family’s interaction with the war has torn them apart, brought them together, and given them complicated relationships across the lines. This is a sweetly drawn book, and a very poignant look at war and belief, in a fairy tale world.
