Greenwood - Michael Christie

Greenwood by Michael Christie is a sweeping multi-generational tale that intricately weaves together the lives of the Greenwood family against the backdrop of a dystopian future ravaged by climate change. Set in a world where old growth trees are nearly extinct, the narrative unfolds through alternating timelines, starting in the 1900s and stretching into the 22nd century. Each character's story connects through the theme of nature, legacy, and the impact of humanity's choices, exploring how the past echoes into the future. Christie's lyrical prose and vivid imagery breathe life into each era, prompting readers to reflect on their relationship with the environment and the importance of conservation. With a combination of rich storytelling and poignant social critique, Greenwood challenges us to consider what we leave behind for future generations.
