Consider The Overstory by Richard Powers. Recommended by 17 sources.
“A literary novel that interlaces multiple human stories over centuries, all orbiting around trees and the natural world. The reading pace is slow, lyrical, and demands attention, but rewards those who love richly layered narratives. What works best is its deep, almost spiritual evocation of tree life and a call to environmental consciousness. However, the novel’s sprawling cast and sometimes preachy activism can feel exhausting, and the middle sections may drag as connections slowly emerge. It’s immersive for the patient, alienating for the plot-driven.”
