Fantastic, thought provoking book.

Plan on listening to this audio book when you have some big blocks of time as it is nearly 23 hours long with lots of characters in there own stories many of which are not brought together until the end. The narrator Suzanne Toren May be the best I've ever heard and the book would be worthwhile on just her talent. But the book stands on its own and I plan to buy and read it again soon. It's interwoven with cutting edge science that is also an important part of the story. It is a book about trees and the environment at baseline but filled also w people and complex relationships and truly a mystery how all will be brought to a cohesive ending. Happy ending to be determined!

Author is well informed/researched, masterfully weaves lives of people and trees into a fantastic story. Audio book is a great accompaniment to gardening!

A great book and a talented narrator. The narrator changes her voice to mimic children and a major character with a hearing problem and a resulting speech impediment. This means you'll listen to some fairly grating sections in a high pitched whine or fake deaf speech. You'll love this recording if you appreciate a dramatized audiobook, but it was a little much for me.

Take your time with this book, it is dense with a thoughtful storyline and expressive writing. You will never look at the trees in your backyard the same way!
