A powerful novel with trees at its centre, winner of the Pulitzer Prize. In this book, Richard Powers tells the story of several people whose lives are linked to trees: the son of settlers who lived under the last of America's extinct chestnut trees; a young woman whose father brought a mulberry from China; a soldier who was caught in free fall by a fig tree and a botanist who discovered the communication between trees.
What at first glance appears to be loose threads, comes together over the course of the story to form a large, powerful network - almost like a forest connected by an underground mycorrhizal network. Powers shows in an elegant and skilful way how closely the life of trees is linked to the life of people.
A novel about the magic of trees
This book is full of trees. What is special about it is that Powers manages to breathe life into many of these trees, so that they too become protagonists of the story.
This is another reason why this novel inspires us to be more aware of trees and forests, to respect them and to protect them.
A clear reading recommendation for all those who want to be enchanted by the magic of trees – and love good stories.
Tip: Grab the book and read it in a beautiful park and let it strengthen your own roots for life.
