Edgar Drake, stimato accordatore di pianoforti nella Londra vittoriana, riceve un giorno una bizzarra richiesta dal ministero della Guerra britannico: accordare un pregiato pianoforte a coda Érard consegnato a un eccentrico medico dell’esercito a capo di un remoto avamposto nel cuore della giungla birmana, il maggiore medico Anthony Carroll. È l’inizio di una lunga e appassionante odissea, che porterà Drake a migliaia di chilometri dalla sua vita, in un mondo dalle tinte vivaci, apparentemente così semplice e aperto, in realtà indecifrabile e traditore. Sulle rive dell’impetuoso fiume Salween, l’accordatore si lascerà conquistare da questo misterioso medico che l’esercito ritiene inspiegabilmente così prezioso per la sua politica imperiale, fino a dimenticare ogni lealtà, alla Corona, alla moglie, perfino a se stesso. In un romanzo di grande maturità, rispettoso debitore delle lezioni di Kipling e Conrad, Daniel Mason sussurra quasi sottovoce una storia insieme avventurosa e delicata che, come un riuscito componimento polifonico, armonizza note politiche, musicali, mediche e psicologiche.

When a pair of young lovers abscond from a Puritan colony, little do they know that their humble cabin in the woods will become the home of an extraordinary succession of human and inhuman characters alike. An English soldier, destined for glory, abandons the battlefields of the New World to devote himself to apples. A pair of spinster twins navigate war and famine, envy and desire. A crime reporter unearths a mass grave - only to discover that the ancient trees refuse to give up their secrets. A lovelorn painter, a sinister conman, a stalking panther, a lusty beetle: as each inhabitant confronts the wonder and mystery around them, they begin to realize that the dark, raucous, beautiful past is very much alive. In his transcendent fourth novel, Pulitzer Prize finalist Daniel Mason delivers a magisterial and highly inventive tale brimming with love and madness, humor and hope. Following the cycles of history, nature and even language, North Woods shows the myriad, magical ways in which we're connected to our environment, to history and to each other. It is not just an unforgettable novel about buried secrets and inevitable fates, but a way of looking at the world.

Set in Vienna in 1914, a twenty-two-year-old medical student named Lucius is drawn to the battlefield by romantic notions of surgery. He enlists, hoping for a role in a well-organized field hospital, but instead finds himself at a makeshift outpost in a commandeered church in the Carpathian Mountains, struggling against typhus and an overwhelming sense of isolation. With most doctors having fled, only a mysterious nurse, Sister Margarete, remains to guide him. Lacking experience, Lucius must quickly adapt to the brutal realities of war medicine while developing feelings for Margarete. The situation intensifies when an unconscious soldier arrives, his uniform adorned with strange drawings. Lucius faces a critical choice that will irrevocably alter the fates of the doctor, the patient, and the nurse. This narrative weaves through the opulence of Imperial Vienna to the harshness of the Eastern Front, exploring themes of love, family, and the moral complexities of war. It is a poignant tale of the mistakes we make and the chances we have to seek redemption amidst the chaos of history.
