It’s 2038 and Jacinda (Jake) Greenwood is a storyteller and a liar, an overqualified tour guide babysitting ultra-rich vacationers 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, calling out from the concrete floor of an empty mansion. It’s 1974 and Willow Greenwood is out of jail, free after being locked up for one of her endless series of environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father’s once vast and violent timber empire. It’s 1934 and Everett Greenwood is alone, as usual, in his maple-syrup camp squat, when he hears the cries of an abandoned infant and gets 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. A shining, intricate clockwork of a novel, Greenwood is a rain-soaked and sun-dappled story of the bonds and breaking points of money and love, wood, and blood—and the hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light. ______ Meesterlijke familiegeschiedenis over houthakkers en natuurbeschermers in een stervend bos. Urgente en actuele pageturner. Ze komen voor de bomen. Het is 2038. Jacinda (Jake) Greenwood werkt als een overgekwalificeerde tourgids op Greenwood Island in een van de laatst overgebleven bossen ter wereld na de Grote Droogte. De link tussen het eiland en haar familienaam leek altijd toeval, totdat er iemand met een boek over haar familiegeschiedenis verschijnt. We worden terug de tijd in genomen en ontmoeten de rest van de familie Greenwood: Liam, een gewonde timmerman die zijn dood in de ogen kijkt. Willow, een milieuactiviste die vastbesloten is de zonden van haar vader Harris, ooit een groot houtmagnaat, goed te maken. En Everett, een landloper die een vondeling redt en daarmee het lot van de komende generaties bezegelt...
