Greenwood by Michael Christie

Part eco fiction, part family saga, Greenwood by Michael Christie follows the story of the ill-fated Greenwood family through several generations. It starts in a dystopian future where fires and infestations have ravaged the land leaving only a few trees surviving, then rewinds back to the early 20^th century to tease out the family history and secrets. 

Along with environmental themes, this book also delves into the question of family; who we are and how important are family roots and legacies? 

The suspenseful plot will draw you in and the beautiful writing will make you want to stay.
