Summary
Summary
One of the New York Times Book Review 100 Notable Books in 2012
But despite having survived the most terrible of tragedies, Claire is about to face her greatest struggle: an illness that threatens not only to rip her from her land but take her very life. And she's chosen a caregiver, the inscrutable, Caribbean-born Minna, who may just be the darkest force of all.
Haunting, tough, triumphant, and profound, The Forgetting Tree explores the intimate ties we have to one another, the deepest fears we keep to ourselves, and the calling of the land that ties every one of us together.
Editorial Reviews
Editorial Reviews
“Soli’s elegant and sensuous prose will keep you spellbound.” —Maria Semple, New York Times bestselling author of Where’d You Go, Bernadette?
“Beautiful and harrowing…[the] characters are unforgettable.” —Richard Russo, New York Times bestselling author of That Old Magic Cape
“A haunting debut novel…quietly mesmerizing.” —New York Times
“The story here is complex and expansive, and Soli’s prose is reminiscent of Eudora Welty’s. Like that writer, Soli’s sentences are tied to the land, and the effect is that, as much as this is a story about people, it is also a story about place and the imprint that each makes on the other.” —Daily Beast
“A lush, haunting novel for readers who appreciate ambiguity, this work should establish Soli as a novelist with depth and broad scope.” —Library Journal
“Soli has again created characters readers will love and care about. She does so with deceptively simple grace: Their yearnings breeze right into your life…The Forgetting Tree is a journey worth taking.” —BookPage
“Soli writes with such passion, it is inescapable, lyrical, and profoundly moving. The Forgetting Tree goes on my top-ten list.” —Jonis Agee, author of The River Wife
