Beschreibung
A dazzling, immersive generational saga that charts a family's rise and fall, its secrets and inherited crimes, and conflicted relationship with the source of its fortune - trees - from one of Canada's most acclaimed novelists. And throughout, there are trees: thrumming a steady, silent pulse beneath Christie's effortless sentences and working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival. Longlisted for the Scotiabank Giller Prize.
