The Overstory

Description

Discover the Pulitzer Prize-Winning Masterpiece That Will Change the Way You See the Natural World

In The Overstory, Richard Powers delivers an extraordinary literary achievement — a sweeping, deeply human novel that reveals the majestic secret life of trees and their profound impact on the human experience.

Told through the lives of nine unforgettable characters — including a Vietnam War veteran saved by a banyan tree, a hearing-impaired scientist who uncovers the hidden language of forests, and an artist haunted by a century of family photographs — this groundbreaking novel explores how nature connects us, heals us, and calls us to act. Each storyline, rooted in personal transformation, converges in a powerful and urgent mission: to defend the last remaining virgin forests on Earth.

Spanning continents and generations, The Overstory is both a love letter to trees and a call to action in the face of environmental crisis. With lyrical prose and emotional depth, Powers invites readers into a world of awe-inspiring beauty, complex ecological networks, and the quiet wisdom of the natural world.

Perfect for fans of environmentally conscious fiction, powerful character-driven narratives, and unforgettable storytelling.
