A new masterwork from Annie Proulx: an epic, dazzling, violent, magnificently dramatic novel about the taking down of the world's forests. Proulx's inimitable genius is her creation of characters who are so vivid - in their greed, lust, vengefulness, or their simple compassion and hope - that we follow them with fierce attention. From the Pulitzer Prize winning author of "The Shipping News" and "Brokeback Mountain".
