the trees by Ali Shaw ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 2, An ecological sermon, bildungsroman, mystery, fairy tale, and horror story all combined into a novel about an improbable journey. This book might win the most striking cover award this year: the stunning autumnal russets and reds are gorgeous! But you know what they say about judging books by their covers? As a parent and as a teacher, we trot out that truism time and again but on what else are you going to judge. The Trees is a thought-provoking meditation on what it means to be wild. Death, darkness and eerie creatures lurk among the branches, but it's the human characters that surprise the most Ali Shaw once again weaves a fantastical and haunting story * Eowyn Ivey, author of The Snow Child *.
In Shaw’s (The Girl with Glass Feet) atmospheric modern fairy tale, Adrien Thomas prefers to sit on the sidelines and watch life go by until trees begin suddenly pushing up from the ground. Adrien walks outside to find England in ruins; the trees have killed numerous people (usually impaling them on their branches) and completely destroyed civilization’s infrastructure. ― Ali Shaw, The Trees. 3 likes. Like “Among the many fox magics her sobo had delighted in describing, the one that had most captured her imagination was the power. The Trees is a bold, intriguing conceit for a dystopian environmental novel The strength of the novel – Shaw’s third – is in the visceral descriptions of the forest: the reader feels, smells and hears the trees, convincingly portrayed as sinister, formidable and with unnerving intentions of their own. Shaw gradually builds up a sense of the supernatural, including “whisperers” – small twig-and-leaf creatures visible only to selected humans.
