Why read it?
1 author picked The Dry Wood as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Written shortly after World War II ended, the story takes place during the war and is set in an underprivileged village in the English countryside. Characters' inner and outer journeys are revealed as the main storyline unfolds. Houselander weaves into the novel deep themes about the nature of love, belief, suffering, redemption, what it means to be Catholic, and more.
