This book is incredible. Telling the life of a house over the course of four centuries by focusing on twelve characters from varying time periods, North Woods is a heartfelt and imaginative rumination on the relentless march of time and on our roles as caretakers on this planet. Our individual bodies may not be around for longer than a century, but the impacts of our bodies on the land we occupy may be felt for generations to come.
