A Country Road, A Tree by Jo Baker

4.0

An understated and lovely fictionalization of Samuel Beckett's life during WWII in France and his time in the French resistance. Baker has a very even hand at pulling in bits of Beckett's works to the story of his life, without creating a false equivalency or implying that all his writing is direct from personal experience. It's a dark and desperate story, as most things related to Beckett are, but a well-written piece from an interesting historical perspective.
