Finished reading Overstory last week as part of the MB longlist. What an amazing story! Love those characters that he created in the novel.
This book should be a must read for all human beings. It might just be the catalyst we need to survive as a species.
Thank you from Mother Nature 🌳
Good job! I can't believe how many books Richard has read about trees!
He has a great chance of scooping a prize which would be richly deserved.
And then months after your comment, he won a Pulitzer Prize for this book.
An inspirational and transformative book ...
This was such an amazing novel!
Can't wait to read this. Great interview :-)
Fascinating, I'm keen to read this now..
what a beautiful brain powers has! and such a fundamental, vital and important message he is sharing.
