Ash Davidson

    Ash Davidson explore les liens profonds entre les êtres humains et le monde naturel, souvent dans le cadre des paysages du nord de la Californie. Son écriture se distingue par des descriptions évocatrices de l'environnement et une représentation nuancée de personnages aux prises avec des liens familiaux complexes et des héritages. Davidson aborde les thèmes de l'identité, de l'appartenance et de la tension entre le sauvage et le civilisé. Sa prose est saluée pour sa qualité lyrique et son honnêteté émotionnelle brute.

      *'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?
