Stilistisch, inhaltlich, sprachlich und von der Form erbaulich wie ein Spaziergang im Wald. Ganz große Literatur. Unbedingte Empfehlung.

Wow. Was für ein tolles, tolles Buch! Das ist definitiv ein Jahreshighlight bisher, vermutlich sogar ein Lebenshighlight für mich als Spross einer "Schreiner-Dynastie" - Opa Schreiner, Vater Schreiner, Bruder Schreiner...- will sagen, zu Holz und Bäumen habe ich durchaus einen engen Zugang. Ich habe im Sommer ja Peter Wohllebens "Das geheime Leben der Bäume" ( https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/25830150-das-geheime-leben-der-b-ume) gelesen, das ist als "theoretischer Unterbau" sehr sinnvoll, finde ich.

I really enjoyed this book!
It took me a while to read because I started off reading it in a book club but then had to drop that and finally picked up the book again in the last month of school, which was a challenge. However, I loved the storyline and how it took the reader through several generations. Seeing the history of the Greenwood family was fascinating for me.
The writing was also beautiful and I especially loved the way that trees were used throughout the book, even besides the obvious ones.
Overall, I really enjoyed this book. :)
