<em>The Overstory</em> is a visionary, accessible legend for the planet that owns us, its exaltation and its peril, a remarkable achievement by a great writer.--Thomas McGuane<br /><em>The Overstory</em>, a novel about trees and people who understand them, is the eco-epic of the year and perhaps the decade.
