Ash Davidson Libri

Ash Davidson approfondisce le profonde connessioni tra le persone e il mondo naturale, spesso ambientate sullo sfondo dei paesaggi della California settentrionale. La sua scrittura si distingue per le descrizioni evocative dell'ambiente e per una rappresentazione sfumata di personaggi che navigano complesse relazioni familiari ed eredità. Davidson esplora temi di identità, appartenenza e la tensione tra il selvaggio e il civilizzato. La sua prosa è celebrata per la sua qualità lirica e la sua cruda onestà emotiva.

*'Probably the best novel I'll read this year. It's about work and love and characters who ring true. By the time I was 50 pages in I couldn't put it down. Can't stop thinking about it' Stephen King* For generations, Rich Gundersen's family has made a living felling giant redwoods on California's rugged coast. It's treacherous work, and though his son, Chub, wants nothing more than to step into his father's boots, Rich longs for a bigger future for him. Colleen just wants a brother or sister for Chub, but she's losing hope. There is so much that she and Rich don't talk about these days - including her suspicions that there is something very wrong at the heart of the forest on which their community is built. When Rich is offered the opportunity to buy a plot of timber which borders Damnation Grove, he leaps at the chance - without telling Colleen. Soon the Gundersens find themselves on opposite sides of a battle that threatens to rip their town apart. Can they find a way to emerge from this together?
