À propos de cet audio

 NATIONAL BESTSELLER • Winner of the Arthur Ellis Award for Best Crime Novel • Shortlisted for the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize • Shortlisted for the Roderick Haig-Brown Regional Prize • Longlisted for the 2019 Scotiabank Giller Prize • A Canada Reads 2023 Contender • One of CBC Books' Best Canadian Fiction of the Year

From the award-winning author of If I Fall, If I Die comes a propulsive, multigenerational family story, in which the unexpected legacies of a remote island off the coast of British Columbia will link the fates of five people over a hundred years. Cloud Atlas meets The Overstory in this ingenious nested-ring epic set against the devastation of the natural world.

They come for the trees. It's 2038 and Jacinda (Jake) Greenwood is a storyteller and a liar, an overqualified tour guide babysitting ultra-rich-eco-tourists in one of the world's last remaining forests. It's 2008 and Liam Greenwood is a carpenter, sprawled on his back after a workplace fall and facing the possibility of his own death. It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is just out of jail for one of her environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and rapacious timber empire. It's 1934 and Everett Greenwood is a Depression-era drifter who saves an abandoned infant, only to find himself tangled up in the web of a crime, secrets, and betrayal that will cling to his family for decades. And throughout, there are trees: a steady, silent pulse thrumming beneath Christie's effortless sentences, working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.

Transporting, beautifully written, and brilliantly structured like the nested growth rings of a tree, Greenwood reveals the knot of lies, omissions, and half-truths that exists at the root of every family's origin story. It is a magnificent novel of greed, sacrifice, love, and the ties that bind--and the hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light.

A very complex and rich work with such obvious reverence for the natural world and trees in particular. The writer takes you on a broad sweep from WWI and the dust bowl era to a frightening future where trees are almost extinct. Beautiful writing .

I've never wanted to know my ancestors stories more. What an epic, richly rendered family saga, rooted in reverence of our dwindling, violated forests.

Actual, Masterful Storytelling

Loved everything about the novel. Wanted an epilogue but I guess that speaks to its success when you do not want the story to end.
