INTO THE TREES
Book ID/图书代码： 04560013B62957
English Summary/英文概要： Told with Williams’s characteristic fine writing, humanity and insight, here comes a story about family, friendship, redemption, the healing powers of nature and how real relationships suffer, change and mature.
Harriet Norton won’t stop crying. Ann and Thomas have tried everything but their infant daughter only calms when she is under the ancient trees of Bleasdale forest. Feeling close to insanity, yearning sleep, the family uproot themselves in the hope of finding peace among the trees.
Raymond Farren, a local farm-hand, has headed to the forest in search of his own sanctuary. A clumsy, awkward man, a perpetual outsider, he is curious about the new family; he walks alone through the forest, watching the new house take shape under the trees.
None of them know that the sinister presence of Keith Sullivan – aggrieved, angry, a man who expected more from life – will upend their lives and threaten everything they have built.
In hugely evocative and lyrical writing, prize-winning author Robert Williams lays bare their emotional lives, set against the intense and mysterious backdrop of the forest. Compelling and haunting, Into the Trees is a novel about love and fear, about the demands of family life and the search for security in the middle of chaos.
