Description

The Private Lives of Trees by Alejandro Zambra is a poignant exploration of love, loss and storytelling. When Julián's stepdaughter Daniela refuses to sleep, he weaves a tale about trees to calm her down, but as the night wears on, his own story begins to unfold. As the hours pass with no sign of his wife Verónica, Julián finds himself caught up in the narrative of their lives together. This novel overflows with wit and nuance, as Zambra crafts a short story that manages to contain whole worlds. With its unique blend of desire, coincidence and storytelling, The Private Lives of Trees is a thought-provoking read that will linger long after the final page is turned. Published in 2023, this revised translation by Megan McDowell brings Zambra's signature style to a wider audience, offering a fresh perspective on love, family and the power of stories.
