Winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction. Richard Powers's sweeping novel unfolds in concentric rings of interlocking fables ranging from antebellum New York to the late twentieth-century Timber Wars of the Pacific Northwest. Nine 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 monumental novel about the vast, slow, magnificently inventive world alongside ours, almost invisible to us.
