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
It’s 2038, and Jacinda “Jake” Greenwood is guiding ultra-wealthy visitors through one of the last remaining old-growth forests, perched on an island off BC. As the story shifts between futures and pasts—her father and mother, grandparents, and the forests they fought over—a family saga unfolds that’s rich, heartbreaking, and alive with trees. This novel is a rain-soaked, sun-dappled ode to wood, love, loss—and how what we build now can echo through generations…
By a Canadian authour, this was one of the most popular books on the truck this past summer, and a personal favourite of ours.
