Histoire
The Vignes twin sisters will always be identical. But after growing up together in a small, Southern Black community and running away at age 16, it's not just the shape of their daily lives that is different as adults, it's everything: Their families, their communities, their racial identities. Many years later, one sister lives with her Black daughter in the same Southern town she once tried to escape. The other secretly passes for White, and her White husband knows nothing of her past.

Histoire
Après des années passées seule dans la forêt à étudier les arbres, la botaniste Pat Westerford en revient avec une découverte sur ce qui est peut-être le premier et le dernier mystère du monde : la communication entre les arbres. Autour de Pat s'entrelacent les destins de neuf personnes qui peu à peu vont converger vers la Californie, où un séquoia est menacé de destruction. Au fil d'un récit aux dimensions symphoniques, Richard Powers explore ici le drame écologique et notre égarement dans le monde virtuel. Son écriture généreuse nous rappelle que, hors la nature, notre culture n'est que "ruine de l'âme."

In this unnamed city, to be interesting is dangerous.

But when first brother-in-law sniffs out her struggle, and rumours start to swell, middle sister becomes 'interesting'. The last thing she ever wanted to be.

Description
Brought to you by Penguin.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction 2019.
Shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize 2018.
The New York Times best seller.
A wondrous, exhilarating novel about nine strangers brought together by an unfolding natural catastrophe.
An artist inherits 100 years of photographic portraits, all of the same doomed American chestnut. A hard-partying undergraduate in the late 1980s electrocutes herself, dies and is sent back into life by creatures of air and light. A hearing and speech-impaired scientist discovers that trees are communicating with one another. An Air Force crew member in the Vietnam War is shot out of the sky, then saved by falling into a banyan.
This is the story of these and five other strangers, each summoned in different ways by the natural world, who are brought together in a last stand to save it from catastrophe.
Commentaires
"Really, just one of the best novels, period." (Ann Patchett)
"The best book I’ve [listened to] in ten years." (Emma Thompson)
"Dazzlingly written." (Robert Macfarlane)

Enchanting, tragic, hopeful
Enchanting - I am an artist by profession, with a fascination for forests and trees and have done many works centred around this subject matter. Richard Powers' prose inspired an other world level of appreciation and awareness for me. I loved the intertwining stories of the main characters to trees and each other.
Tragic - A work of fiction I know, but so much of it is based on truths and reality. What humans do! Have done and continue to do to the environment. Every human should read this story.
Hopeful - That should people wake up to the true value of trees and breathe in the beauty and wonder of forests there will be hope. And having said that they will recover if left in peace, in spite of humans.
I do agree that there was a point at which the story could have ended earlier than it did but I for one was glad to hear more. In fact I listened to the book twice for any hidden intricacies that I may have missed first time round and to repeat the magic of the book's true heros : the trees. I loved it.
The reader's voice I found to be rather austere for my taste. If you feel the same (listening to the sample) don't let it put you off... she does a great job all the same.

The most difficult book you have to read
This story is the literary mirror that you will struggle to look into. It's beautifully written; poetic at times and at times, pure story-telling in the ancient ways that stories were told. Full of myth-in-the-making it tells of the anti-heros that in time will become the seeds of gods. It will be very difficult to read at times because the truth hurts, but you will feel lighter, wiser and More when you are done.

Powerful story beautiful read
This is a real saga in the tradition of the great American novel. It's not always an easy listen, but it's well worth the effort. I am a fan of Richard Powers in anycase: he researches his books so well and I loved the narration.

Could have been an interesting book...
I found it really difficult to finish the book. Although I like to general idea of the book — I really wanted to like it — I didn’t find the story and the naration engaging enough. I am also annoyed with the way the narrator mimicked different accents.

So important, but needs sustained attention
I loved this book but it is speaking to the converted. All the authorial devices used, I get. But. Many who should be learning what this book so earnestly attempts to teach, will give up because of its flaws.
What a shame. Most of it is so beautiful. But repetition and polemics repel many people, particularly if they don’t love trees. This tale will not convert them. So sorry.
The voice actor is splendid.

Annoying and monotonous Voice, check before buying
Its hard to write about how I like the story, as the Speaker is very annyoing to me.
I was looking forward to hear the story but the Voice made it impossible for me to enjoy it.
I dont understand how such a highly praised book can be read by a Voice like this. Nothing personal Suzanne, maybe its just my personal taste. Check before buying!

great audiobook
however i didnt like that the speaker spoke in accents for the foreign characters and in (for a lack of a better word) hearing-disability accent for a character with a hearing disability. that was extremely offputting and frankly seemed kind of racist and ableist in 2019.

Inspiring, epic storytelling
This novel reads like a true story of all of our lives. The individual destiny of each of the characters are woven into an unforgettable drama about the salvation of our ecosystem. Powers is a master of the language, and we can only be grateful that he has employed his artistic talent for such a worthwhile cause. Trees are much more a part of us than most of us are aware. This book should be required reading for every human on the planet.

Versuch ein Lehrbuch über Bäume in Romanform zu gießen
Dieser Versuch fällt sehr langatmig aus. Die verschiedenen Charaktere und Fäden der Geschichte werden nie wirklich zusammengefügt. Das Ende ist wenig befriedigend, im besten Fall wohl aufrüttelnd gemeint.
Allerdings gelingt es dem Autor, zum Nachdenken zum Umgang mit der Schöpfung anzuregen.
