Praise for The Overstory by Richard Powers

It changed how I thought about the Earth and our place in it....It changed how I see things and that's always, for me, a mark of a book worth reading.
-- Barack Obama

Monumental...A gigantic fable of genuine truths.
-- Barbara Kingsolver, The New York Times Book Review, cover review

Should be mandatory reading the world over.
-- Emilia Clarke

Extraordinary...What was happening to his characters passed into my conscience, like alcohol into the bloodstream, and left a feeling behind of grief or guilt, even after I put it down.
-- Benjamin Markovits, The Guardian

Transformative and wise.
-- Naomi Klein

Dazzlingly written...Powers is as brilliant on trees and arborescence as he has been in past novels on music, AI, and neuroscience.
-- Robert Macfarlane

The best book I've read in ten years...It's a mind-opening fiction, and it connects us all in a very positive way to the things that we have to do if we want to regain our planet.
-- Emma Thompson
