Ash Davidson Boeken

Ash Davidson duikt in de diepe verbanden tussen mensen en de natuurlijke wereld, vaak gesitueerd tegen de achtergrond van de landschappen van Noord-Californië. Haar schrijven wordt gekenmerkt door suggestieve beschrijvingen van de omgeving en een genuanceerde weergave van personages die navigeren door complexe familiebanden en nalatenschappen. Davidson verkent thema's als identiteit, ergens bij horen en de spanning tussen het wilde en het beschaafde. Haar proza wordt geprezen om zijn lyrische kwaliteit en rauwe emotionele eerlijkheid.

*'Probably the best novel I'll read this year. It's about work and love and characters who ring true. By the time I was 50 pages in I couldn't put it down. Can't stop thinking about it' Stephen King* For generations, Rich Gundersen's family has made a living felling giant redwoods on California's rugged coast. It's treacherous work, and though his son, Chub, wants nothing more than to step into his father's boots, Rich longs for a bigger future for him. Colleen just wants a brother or sister for Chub, but she's losing hope. There is so much that she and Rich don't talk about these days - including her suspicions that there is something very wrong at the heart of the forest on which their community is built. When Rich is offered the opportunity to buy a plot of timber which borders Damnation Grove, he leaps at the chance - without telling Colleen. Soon the Gundersens find themselves on opposite sides of a battle that threatens to rip their town apart. Can they find a way to emerge from this together?
