4.5 stars
I was in the mood for a meaty story and that is exactly what I got with this book. It centers around a logging community in the seventies as they desperately try to hold on to their way of life while grappling with environmental destruction, chemical poisoning and small town mindset. The characters in this book are complicated and the plot constantly contains an eerie sense of foreboding. The setting becomes a character on its own and the descriptions of big tree forests are beautiful and make me feel as if I know this place in which I have never visited. As with any book, there are flaws but overall this was a satisfying reading experience. I received a digital ARC of this book through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
