Description
North Woods is a monumental achievement of polyphony and humanity. Relating the narrative of an entire country via a single plot of land, it sweeps the reader through hundreds of years and an array of protagonists with a deft, heartbreaking, idiosyncratic zeal. I loved it. - Maggie O'Farrell
OVER FOUR CENTURIES,
'This is a time-spanning, genre-blurring work of storytelling magic... The only constants are the land and Mason's genius.' - Washington Post
A SINGLE HOUSE DEEP IN THE WOODS OF NEW ENGLAND
'Dazzling... weaves a Cloud Atlas-style narrative of humanity under pressure and nature under threat... Brave and original... intimate and epic, playful and serious.' - Guardian
IS HOME TO RUNAWAYS AND VISIONARIES, INSEPARABLE TWINS, A LOVELORN PAINTER, A DESPERATE MOTHER AND A RUTHLESS CON-MAN.
'It seems almost a magic trick, the way in which Mason knits his lives into a single tale.' - Sunday Times
IT WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SEE THE WORLD.
North Woods has been heaped with praise and hype, and deservedly so. This is a book that treats life as a miracle and demands the proper awe from its readers. - The Times
