A new novel by the author of "The Winter Soldier" and "The Adjuster".The best book of the year by version: New York Times Book Review, Washington Post, Time, The Boston Globe, NPR, Chicago Public Library, The Star Tribune, The Economist, The Christian Science Monitor, Real Simple, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Bookreporter Daniel Mason's novel, which spans four centuries, is a narrative about one a house lost in the woods of Western Massachusetts, and a succession of its inhabitants. Lovers who escaped from a Puritanical settlement; a young colonist with a child who was abducted by Indians; a former soldier who devoted himself to growing apple trees; twin sisters inextricably linked by love and jealousy; an artist who protects a secret; an avid hunter whose wife sees voices (or does she not?), and many, many others. When one story ends, another begins, and this continuity resonates with the cyclical nature, with the changing seasons and ecosystems. Trees and plants are full-fledged characters in the novel, and the experiences of the bark beetle turn out to be no less important than human ones. This is an unusual, inventively constructed novel full of humor and hope about the passage of time, about our connection with the world and how to see the history of loss as a story of change. When two young lovers escape from a puritanical colony, they do not know that the modest hut they will build in a dense forest will become home to amazing human and non-human inhabitants who will replace each other for many decades. An English soldier who has decided to start a peaceful life will devote himself to taking care of an apple orchard. Two twin sisters will live under the shade of apple trees, coping with hunger, difficulties, jealousy, passions. A panther that finds a safe hiding place in a hut. Ghosts guarding the peace of a dilapidated house. An artist who fiercely protects a secret. An avid hunter whose wife is seeing voices (or is she still not seeing them?). And many, many others. When one story ends, another begins, and this continuity resonates with the cyclical nature, with the changing seasons. And in this cycle of stories of the inhabitants of the house, determined by natural cycles, the past penetrates into the present, and the future returns back. People and trees, fruits and beetles, panthers and sheep - they are all equal, and all are part of a single, beautiful and terrible world. Following the cycles of history, nature, and even language, the Northern Forest shows the many magical connections we have with the environment, history, and each other. This is an unusual, inventively constructed novel full of humor and hope about the passage of time, about our connection with the world and how to see the history of loss as a story of change. But this is not just a good book, but also a call to ask the question: How are we going to live on, even after we're gone?The best book of the year by version: New York Times Book Revie, Washington Post, Time, The Boston Globe, NPR, Chicago Public Library, The Star Tribune, The Economist, The Christian Science, Monitor, Real Simple, Kirkus Reviews, Publishers Weekly, Library Journal, Bookreporter
