A wondrous, exhilarating Pulitzer Prize winning novel about nine strangers brought together by the globally unfolding natural catastrophe. 

An artist inherits a hundred years of photographic portraits, of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying 80's undergrad electrocutes herself, dies, and is sent back into life. A hearing- and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. An Air Force crewmember in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.

The Overstory is an epic eco-novel about a handful of people tied together over generations and geographies by ecological awareness and activism.

Captivating, compelling modern mythmaking.
