{"product_id":"greenwood-9780771024481b","title":"Greenwood","description":"\u003ci\u003eThey come for the trees.\u003c\/i\u003e It's 2038 and Jacinda (Jake) Greenwood is a storyteller and a liar, an overqualified tour guide babysitting ultra-rich-eco-tourists in one of the world's last remaining forests. It's 2008 and Liam Greenwood is a carpenter, sprawled on his back after a workplace fall and facing the possibility of his own death. It's 1974 and Willow Greenwood is just out of jail for one of her environmental protests: attempts at atonement for the sins of her father's once vast and rapacious timber empire. It's 1934 and Everett Greenwood is a Depression-era drifter who saves an abandoned infant, only to find himself tangled up in the web of a crime, secrets, and betrayal that will cling to his family for decades. And throughout, there are trees: a steady, silent pulse thrumming beneath Christie's effortless sentences, working as a guiding metaphor for withering, weathering, and survival.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransporting, beautifully written, and brilliantly structured like the nested growth rings of a tree, \u003ci\u003eGreenwood\u003c\/i\u003e reveals the knot of lies, omissions, and half-truths that exists at the root of every family's origin story. It is a magnificent novel of greed, sacrifice, love, and the ties that bind--and the hopeful, impossible task of growing toward the light.","brand":"McClelland \u0026 Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42826716184656,"sku":"9780771024481B","price":8.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0592\/8173\/5760\/files\/9780771024481-l.jpg?v=1785907175","url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/en-ca\/products\/greenwood-9780771024481b","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
