Greenwood
Michael Christie
£10.99
Mr B's review
A Steinbeckian epic stretching back across centuries in the life of the Greenwood family. From park rangers to loggers and carpenters, the Greenwoods have always lived and breathed trees, but not always to the forest’s benefit. Structurally ambitious, deeply moving and acutely prescient, this is one big-hearted novel.
Description
A spellbinding eco fable for fans of David Mitchell, Richard Powers, and Margaret Atwood.
Structured like the rings of a tree, this remarkable novel moves from a futuristic world in which only one forest remains to the start of the twentieth century, where two young boys survive a train crash, setting them on a path that will forever change their lives and the lives of those around them.
