From the award-winning Linda Grant, a vibrant imagining of the
tumultuous world of early twentieth-century Europe through the eyes
of Mina, a young girl whose adventures begin in a deep dark forest.
'Epic, magnificent, beautiful. A perfect work of art and craft and
such a good story... I felt I was living it. I couldn't put it
down' Philippa Perry 'Magnificent... flawless writing, wonderfully
flawed characters, its epic sweep combined with a warm immediacy...
I'm in awe, I'm charmed, and I want to press a copy on everyone I
know' Nigella Lawson 'What an amazing novel... Vivid storytelling
with complex and colourful characters... spectacular' David
Morrissey It's 1913 and a young, carefree and recklessly innocent
girl, Mina, goes out into the forest on the edge of the Baltic sea
and meets a gang of rowdy young men with revolution on their minds.
It sounds like a fairy tale but it's life. The adventure leads to
flight, emigration and a new land, a new language and the pursuit
of idealism or happiness - in Liverpool. But what of the stories
from the old country; how do they shape and form the next
generations who have heard the well-worn tales? From the flour
mills of Latvia to Liverpool suburbia to post-war Soho, The Story
of the Forest is about myths and memory and about how families
adapt in order to survive. It is a story full of the humour and
wisdom we have come to relish from this wonderful writer.
