Daniel Mason's novel, set over four centuries, is the tale of a single house lost in the woods of Western Massachusetts and a succession of its inhabitants. Lovers fleeing a Puritan settlement; a young colonist and her child kidnapped by Indians; a former soldier devoted to growing apple trees; twin sisters inextricably bound by love and jealousy; an artist guarding a secret; an avid hunter whose wife dreams of voices (or does she?) - and many, many others. When one story ends, another begins, and this continuity echoes the cyclical nature, 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 as important as human ones. This is an unusual, ingeniously constructed novel full of humor and hope about the passage of time, our connection to the world, and how to see the history of loss as a history of change.
