Prepare to be enchanted by this mesmerising ecological parable, a must-read for devotees of David Mitchell, Richard Powers, and Margaret Atwood. Michael Christie's 'Greenwood' unfolds like the concentric circles of a tree trunk, weaving an intricate tapestry of time and nature.
Our journey begins in a dystopian future where a solitary forest stands as the last bastion of green on Earth. From this haunting premise, we're spirited back through the decades, eventually alighting at the dawn of the 20th century. Here, we encounter two young lads who, by some twist of fate, survive a catastrophic train wreck. This pivotal moment sets them on a trajectory that will irrevocably alter not only their own destinies but those of countless others in their wake.
Christie's narrative is a masterful blend of mystery and environmental commentary, inviting readers to unravel the complex connections between past and present, humanity and nature. 'Greenwood' is not merely a novel; it's a thought-provoking exploration of our intricate relationship with the natural world, delivered with the precision of a finely-tuned timepiece.
