North Woods by Daniel Mason
5.0

The description and cover of North Woods does not do this novel any justice! I put off picking it up for the longest time because a story about a home in the woods told over hundreds of years didn’t grab me, and I thought the cover was weird. Now I GET IT. I’m glad so many trusted readers gave it such glowing reviews. This book was shocking, visceral, witty, humorous and un-put-down-able. I love that there was a slight spiritual and otherworldly thread that pulled it together. All around excellent book!

“the only way to understand the world as something other than a tale of loss is to see it as a tale of change.”
