Book Summary:

The Overstory, winner of the 2019 Pulitzer Prize in Fiction, is a collection of stories about nine people whose lives intersect in unexpected and fascinating ways.  This creates a tapestry much larger than their individual lives.  These intersections mirror the startling arboreal science woven throughout this masterful novel. 

 

The LACPA member who recommended this novel wrote “The understory – a tale of trees, tree huggers, loggers and conflict. The overstory – a deep spiritual interconnectedness of all living things.  You’ll love it.”

 

According to an editorial description from Amazon “There is a world alongside ours―vast, slow, interconnected, resourceful, magnificently inventive, and almost invisible to us. 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.”
