I really, really, love a multi-generational narrative. The Forest is a pretty dense books, and given the time it took to read, the individual characters tend to fade away a bit, but the family lines are of more importance than any one individual figure. The two sections where we see a bit of personification from the natural life of the forest itself make for interesting outsider perspectives. The writing style is absolutely captivating, and the historical fact is well integrated without feeling too much like a textbook.
