ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

North Woods by Daniel Mason weaves together the stories of the inhabitants of a single plot of land in the western Massachusetts woods across centuries. Beginning with a mysterious letter, the narrative unfolds through the voices and experiences of diverse characters, including early settlers, an apple orchardist, a painter, and a present-day professor. The book explores the cyclical nature of life, love, loss, and the enduring connection between humanity and the natural world, revealing how successive generations leave their mark on the land and are in turn shaped by it. Themes of time, memory, and the secrets held within the landscape permeate this multi-layered narrative.
