Each month, we select a brand new book that we love so much that we guarantee you'll love it too.
For this month we have chosen "Birnam Wood" by Eleanor Catton.
Set in New Zealand, this gripping novel explores tensions among a tech billionaire American, a clueless landowner, an aspiring journalist, and a group of idealists trying to turn unused land into vegetable gardens. It's grounded in fully realized characters, but the plot pulls the reader through various twists and surprises. With themes of class, surveillance, nature, and the human desire to just fit in, Birnam Wood is the best novel I've read in several years.
