Why read it?
1 author picked Mother of Trees as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
What I loved most about this book is its unusual approach to story structure.
The first chapter read like the script for an indie arthouse film, a monologue that was disconnected to the point of incoherence. Some readers gave up on the book at that point, but I’m so glad I didn’t.
By the end, the author sharpens the image, pulls together all the various subplots, and provides a deeply satisfying conclusion. I am ready to fall into the next book in the series.
