The Overstory - Richard Powers - A Short Summary and Review

 

A short summary of The Overstory:

The story of our trees and how some people fought to save a few of them.

My favorite Richard Powers quote from the book:

"Life has a way of talking to the future. It's called memory."

Questions to ponder while reading the book:

Can you admit your mistakes?

How do you repay kindness?

My review of The Overstory:

A touching story about an overlooked ecosystem.

Eye-opening and difficult to put down.

I cried for the trees.
