Mira and Lemoine come to an uneasy truce, and the collective is able to continue its work. The property turns out to be an acquisition of the American billionaire Robert Lemoine. The collective takes over a property in Thorndike, on the South Island of New Zealand. The novel's protagonist is Mira Bunting, the leader of a gardening collective of activist/farmers. The title of the novel, Birnam Wood, is a reference to the line from Macbeth, "Birnam Wood will come to Dunsinane." The novel is set in New Zealand and explores the themes of environmental action and capitalism. And then there are two Books of Sci-Fi/Fantasy novels that I really enjoyed.Įleanor Catton, the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, returns with her first novel since that honor. Three of the novels here deal with the lives of the super-rich, but with very different approaches to the subject.
