In 2038, the epidemic waves of the Great Withering have decimated the planet's forests, leaving behind a dust desert. On a wooded island off the coast of British Columbia, Jacinda works as a guide for wealthy tourists who come to admire the last primary forest, with little hope for the future. Her life changes when she discovers she is the descendant of Harris Greenwood, a timber tycoon with a scandalous reputation. Through a complex narrative structure spanning from the 1930s to the near future, Michael Christie weaves a masterful family saga. This social and ecological novel explores the secrets, dramas, and upheavals that have shaped our world, asking a crucial question: what will be left of us when the last tree has been felled?
