‘Really, just one of the best novels, period’ Ann Patchett

An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut.

A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. An Air Force crewmember in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.This is the story of these and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by the natural world, who are brought together in a last stand to save it from catastrophe.‘It’s not possible for Powers to write an uninteresting book’ Margaret Atwood‘It’s a masterpiece’ Tim Winton‘Radical and exciting’ Jessie Burton
