There is a world alongside ours-vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. From the roots to the crown and back to the seeds, Richard Powers's twelfth novel 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. The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a sweeping, impassioned work of activism and resistance that is also a stunning evocation of-and paean to-the natural world. "The best novel ever written about trees, and really just one of the best novels, period." -Ann Patchett Over One Year on the New York Times Bestseller ListĪ New York Times Notable Book and a Washington Post, Time, Oprah Magazine, Newsweek, Chicago Tribune, and Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year
