Description
Arboreality by Rebecca Campbell is a thought-provoking novel that explores the interconnected lives of individuals in the face of climate change. In this expansion of a 2020 Theodore Sturgeon Memorial Award-winning story, Campbell weaves together multiple narratives to reveal the power of small acts and intimate moments in shaping a community's survival. As the world around them collapses, people find ways to hold on to hope and humanity. A professor rescues books from a flooded library, while a man plants fireweed on his isolated hillside. Meanwhile, an aspiring luthier works tirelessly to create a violin for a child prodigy, using the last remaining ancient Sitka spruce. Through Campbell's astonishing vision, this multi-generational story reveals the resilience of human connection in the face of adversity, and the ways in which even small acts can have a profound impact on those around us.
