Description
The Overstory A Novel by Richard Powers In a world where humans and nonhumans are increasingly at odds, a small group of strangers from different walks of life are brought together by the natural world to fight for its survival. Through a series of interconnected stories, spanning centuries and continents, Powers explores the conflict between humanity and the environment, and the transformative power of homecoming. From the antebellum streets of New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest, The Overstory unfolds as a sweeping and impassioned novel of activism and resistance. With its stunning evocation of the natural world, this book invites readers to consider the world alongside our own, vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, and magnificently inventive. If the trees of this earth could speak, what would they tell us? Listen to their story, and discover the power of a homecoming that can change everything.
