A catamount, a wild cat that once populated the western forests of Massachusetts, makes a cameo appearance in this absolutely spellbinding novel. Tracing the passage of time over centuries, one home in the woods fades in and out of the narrative, which narrates the stories of those whose paths walk over the same tracks over the years. The chorus of voices in different formats make for a delightful symphony. Mason’s writing is lush and gorgeous – a paragraph describing snow-laden woods alone is worth the price of admission – and the novel makes for a worthy contender for the Pulitzer. A must-read!
