A novel about the natural world - trees specifically - and our
power as human beings to destroy it or redeem it. It reminds me
that we are all connected and that there is still time to make
things right
*TAYARI JONES, author of An American Marriage*
An extraordinary novel... It's an astonishing performance... The
Overstory leaves you with a slightly adjusted frame of
reference
*Guardian*
Should be mandatory reading the world over
*EMILIA CLARKE*
On almost every page of The Overstory you will find sentences that
combine precision and vision. You will learn new facts about
trees... [An] exhilarating read
*The Times*
One of the most thoughtful and involving novels I've read for
years... Extraordinary
*Daily Telegraph*
