Terrific review of a book I might not otherwise have noticed. And I too have thanked a tree, not one I planted (I"m not THAT old) but a century plus oak in the parking strip in front of the house we bought in 1966. Our dog tried to climb it; we had the ceremony of the aphid removal each year; kids gathered acorns and made toys of them. So this book is now on my list to read.
Thank you. I hope you do read it. I had to race through it because something like 146 people were in the library queue to borrow it next and it was already overdue. I am currently winnowing books so my bar for purchasing books has risen quite high, but this one just might clear it.
I'm in the same place re purchasing books and alas my local library is closed until sometime this winter (Central Branch of Multnomah County Public Library). So I am buying a lot more books than I want to keep. I will however read this book in the foreseeable future.
One of my favorite books. Thank you for spreading the word about it.
