About the book
A professor in pandemic isolation rescues books from the flooded and collapsing McPherson Library. A man plants fireweed on the hillside of his depopulated Vancouver Island suburb. An aspiring luthier poaches the last ancient Sitka spruce to make a violin for a child prodigy. Rebecca Campbell’s astonishing vision pulls the echoing effects of small acts and intimate moments through this multi-generational and interconnected story of how a West coast community survives the ravages of climate change.
Praise for Arboreality
“I have yearned for a story like this one—ordinary people finding slow, small ways to repair not the whole damaged world, but their own small corner of it… I couldn’t love it more.”
— Molly Gloss, author of Wild Life and The Hearts of Horses
“You’ll see the world differently after reading this slender book—I dare you to come away unchanged.”
— Amanda Leduc, author of The Centaur’s Wife
Rebecca is represented by Evan Brown.
Congratulations to all!
