A landslide in New Zealand’s South Island leaves an enormous tract of land ripe for the unsanctioned gardening of the Birnam Wood group, and an unexpected encounter between Mira and a mysterious billionaire using the same land for more nefarious purposes results in an avalanche of decisions that lead to tragedy. The book borrows its title from Shakespeare’s Macbeth, a play that examines how actions define character, how hubris leads to destruction, and how fate and free will are inextricably bound. In Birnam Wood, Catton moves with skillful ease in and out of her characters’ heads: the limited third person illuminates each one, then only a few pages later, she re-examines a scene, an encounter, a memory with another take that illustrates how common our misperceptions are not only about others but also about ourselves. In a serious book about serious matters, Catton’s writing hums with humor, with sharp observations, and shifting sympathies. There is a hilarious dinner party that skewers the leftist collective, a smaller dinner party that reveals the subtle intricacies of a marriage, and a series of increasingly tragic events that are both shocking and inevitable.
