George Saunders is the author of nine books, including the No. ![]() ![]() While there are no inherent flaws in the novel, this is one of two Hardinge novels* where the mystical element is utterly destroyed during the climax. These elements of gender politics beat strongly at the heart of the story – especially when you realise that the solution to the mystery was obscured by our own preconceived notions of gender and class. No only does Hardinge illustrate a world where natural science meets myth and magic, she shows us a world where those without power will go to great lengths to secure it. ![]() This is a powerful tale of magic, science, faith, and gender. How far will she go to learn the truth? Can she prove that her father – a man of god and science – did not, in fact, take his own life. The more widespread the lie, the greater the truth revealed by eating its fruit. She seeks answers in her father’s possessions and finds a mystical tree. When her father dies under mysterious circumstances, Faith questions while others accept. Faith is quiet and obedient, so she doesn’t ask questions or step out of line – yet secretly, she yearns to become a woman of science in a society that does not suffer ambitious women. ![]() But Faith’s mother and uncle are acting strangely: there’s talk of a scandal.

This is the story of a handful of people who learn how to see that world and who are drawn up into its unfolding catastrophe. There is a world alongside ours – vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive and almost invisible to us. These four, and five other strangers – each summoned in different ways by trees – are brought together in a last and violent stand to save the continent's few remaining acres of virgin forest. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. An Air Force loadmaster in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan. The Overstory unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables that range from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest and beyond. ![]() A monumental novel about trees and people by one of our most 'prodigiously talented' ( The New York Times Book Review) novelists. ![]() ![]() ![]() In 1922, he reported on the Greco-Turkish war before resigning from journalism to devote himself to fiction. ![]() He returned to America in 1919, and married in 1921.
