North Woods

by Daniel Mason

I don’t believe we have offered a fiction book as part of our selection before (apart from children’s stories of course) but this was so good I felt compelled to break with tradition! A copy of ‘North Wood’ was given to me for my birthday by one of our wonderful volunteers Alison, who thought it was so good I should read it too. It is some of the most evocative and beautiful nature writing I have ever read – Daniel Mason’s descriptions of the woods and the streams and all the life within them are so incredibly vivid. Beyond this is an engrossing tale of a wood, an apple tree and a small cabin, and how successive generations leave their mark upon it over the course of hundreds of years.  The story follows some truly fantastic and incredibly diverse characters from runaways and visionaries, inseparable twins, a lovelorn painter, a desperate mother and a ruthless conman. It will have you enthralled from beginning to end and there is a good twist in the tale too.
