The Fallen Trees Are Also the Forest

As dawn breaks, a woman prepares to make a perfect breakfast for her husband and son, while a subtle note of disquiet grows louder. A Japanese soldier resolutely obeys a command as precise as it is inexplicable. Two girls discover themselves through electrically charged games, which they will recall in letters for the rest of their lives.

Enigmatic yet sharply clear, The Fallen Trees Are Also the Forest is a book of quietly shattering epiphanies from a unique voice in international fiction.
