Amazon.com Review\nAn Amazon Best Book of March 2020: It is difficult not to fall for Michael Christie’s Greenwood, a multi-generational saga that is also a page turner. Beginning in 2038, after an event called “the Withering” has taken most old-growth forests, we meet Jacinda “Jake” Greenwood, who is working as a forest guide on a remote wooded island off the coast of British Columbia. Because of the rarity of large trees, the island has become a center of eco-tourism, attracting the rich and famous. From Jake’s story, the author begins to cycle back in time, through several generations of Greenwoods, all of them linked to the forest in some way, each with their own absorbing story. Trees provide a multitude of metaphors to play with (all applicable here), and there has been a multitude of recent novels with trees at their center. Between Annie Proulx’s Barkskins, Karl Marlantes’s Deep River, and of course Richard Powers’s The Overstory, I thought I had read enough tree books to last a decade. Still, I could not help but fall hard for this novel, and so will many other readers. Greenwood is a great read: thoughtful and complex, entertaining and rewarding.—Chris Schluep, the Amazon Book Review\nA spellbinding eco fable for fans of David Mitchell, Richard Powers, and Margaret Atwood.
nStructured like the rings of a tree, this remarkable novel moves from a futuristic world in which only one forest remains to the start of the twentieth century, where two young boys survive a train crash, setting them on a path that will forever change their lives and the lives of those around them.
