Greenwood Novel

Experience the mesmerizing tale of a family's journey through time, from glory to downfall, and the hidden truths and crimes passed down from one generation to the next, masterfully crafted by one of Canada's most celebrated writers. Longlisted for the prestigious Scotiabank Giller Prize, this gripping family saga has been compared to Richard Powers's acclaimed novel The Overstory by Publishers Weekly.

In 2038, Jacinda (Jake) Greenwood finds herself weaving tales and telling lies as a tour guide for wealthy tourists in a vanishing forest. Meanwhile, in 2008, Liam Greenwood, a carpenter, lies injured in an empty mansion after a work accident. In 1974, Willow Greenwood is released from prison after engaging in numerous environmental protests as a way to make amends for her father's dark past in the timber industry. Back in 1934, Everett Greenwood unexpectedly becomes entangled in a web of crime, secrets, and betrayal when he discovers an abandoned infant in his maple-syrup camp.

Throughout the novel, trees serve as a silent yet powerful symbol, pulsating beneath Christie's eloquent prose, symbolizing resilience and endurance. Greenwood unfolds like a finely tuned clockwork, portraying the intricate dynamics of wealth and love, heritage and sacrifice, and the relentless pursuit of light amidst darkness.

With rich imagery of rain-soaked forests and sunlit landscapes, Greenwood is a poignant exploration of the ties that bind a family together and the moments that threaten to tear them apart. This evocative novel delves into the complexities of human nature, the legacy of the past, and the eternal quest for redemption. Discover a world where the past and present merge seamlessly, where stories intertwine, and where the journey towards growth and enlightenment is both challenging and hopeful.
