Description
Greenwood is a magnificent generational saga that charts a family's rise and fall, its secrets and inherited crimes. Set against the backdrop of a vast and violent timber empire, this superb novel explores the bonds and breaking points of money, love, and wood. Through the interconnected lives of four generations, Michael Christie masterfully weaves a complex and riveting narrative. From the 1930s to the present day, the story unfolds with effortless sentences, guided by the steady, silent pulse of the natural world - a metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival. A shining, intricate clockwork of a novel, Greenwood is a story of the impossible task of growing toward the light, of finding hope in the face of adversity, and of the enduring power of family secrets and the natural world.
