BIRNAM WOOD: Eleanor Catton

BIRNAM WOOD

by Eleanor Catton

I love Eleanor Catton’s writing; with a few sentences she can capture a mood, tone or character perfectly.  Birnam Wood captures pastoral New Zealand exactly. Loosely based on Shakespeare's Macbeth, Birnam Wood, like the play itself, is all about power and murder... Only with guerrilla gardening and underground bunkers! It's well written and an absolute hoot.​
