North Woods

"A little patch of land in Massachusetts sees a cabin built, an apple orchard grown, a rich man’s getaway: The property changes hands and generations, decades and centuries, retaining some wildness but never really belonging to anyone but itself and its ghosts. Daniel Mason’s North Woods is a profoundly good – and fun – read, especially the chapter about the sexy beetles!"

"North Woods by Daniel Mason. The writing is rich and smooth, the storytelling woven with such dexterity and the sense of historical place is authentic and so compelling. I really couldn't put it down."

"Daniel Mason's amazing "North Woods." I always admire his writing and the great wealth of historical and scientific knowledge that he brings to the page."
