Description
The People in the Trees by Hanya Yanagihara is a strikingly original first novel that conjures up a world full of dark pockets of mystery. In 1950, a young doctor named Norton Perina embarks on an expedition to a remote island in search of a lost tribe. There, he encounters a strange group of forest dwellers who have attained a form of immortality that preserves the body but not the mind. Perina uncovers their secret and returns with it to America, where he soon finds great success. However, his discovery has come at a terrible cost, not only for the islanders, but also for Perina himself. This thought-provoking novel marked the debut of a remarkable voice in American fiction and is part of the Picador Collection, showcasing the best of modern literature. With its unique blend of mystery, cultural heritage, and literary depth, The People in the Trees is a compelling read that will keep you engaged until the very end.
