About Greenwood

From the award-winning author Michael Christie comes a propulsive, multigenerational family story, in which the unexpected legacies of a remote island off the coast of British Columbia will link the fates of five people over a hundred years.  An ingenious nested-ring, multigenerational epic, set against the devastation of the natural world.
