*'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?

Reviews for Damnation Spring

[An] ambitious, assured debut... a devastating page-turner with a love story at its centre * LitHub * A strong work of climate fiction... rooted in age-old man-versus-nature storytelling. An impressively well-turned story about how environmental damage creeps into our bodies, psyches, and economies * Kirkus (starred review) * Beautiful, timeless and breathtaking * Nickolas Butler *
