It's 2008 and Liam Greenwood is a carpenter, sprawled on his back after a workplace fall and facing the possibility of his own death. It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is just out of jail for one of her environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and rapacious timber empire. It's 1934 and Everett Greenwood is a Depression-era drifter who saves an abandoned infant, only to find himself tangled up in the web of a crime, secrets, and betrayal that will cling to his family for decades. And throughout, there are trees: a steady, silent pulse thrumming beneath Christie's effortless sentences, working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransporting, beautifully written, and brilliantly structured like the nested growth rings of a tree, Greenwood reveals the knot of lies, omissions, and half-truths that exists at the root of every family's origin story. It is a magnificent novel of greed, sacrifice, love, and the ties that bind--and the hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":51851210752283,"sku":null,"price":49.98,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":51851210785051,"sku":null,"price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Kindle Edition","offer_id":51851210817819,"sku":null,"price":13.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0993\/3343\/9771\/files\/greenwood-historical-fiction-book-cover-features-michael-668.webp?v=1776285911","url":"https:\/\/goldenlambpublishing.ca\/products\/greenwood","provider":"Golden Lamb Publishing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
