Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"An unlikely love story about a reporter and a tree. . . . What makes Witness Tree such an irresistible read is Mapes’s love of language combined with a great talent at rendering nerdy information readable."
* Los Angeles Review of Books *
"A meticulously, beautifully layered portrayal of vulnerability and loss, renewal and hope, this extensively researched yet deeply personal book is a timely call to bear witness and to act in an age of climate-change denial."
* Kirkus Reviews, starred review *
"The intriguing, and more intimate, Witness Tree . . . portrays trees as ‘scribes, diarists, historians.’ They are ‘among our oldest journalists.’ A reporter herself . . . Mapes sets out to tell the story of climate change through one tree. But that is, marvelously, the least of it."
* New York Times Book Review *
