Birnam Wood is on the move ...A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in the South Island of New Zealand, cutting off the town of Thorndike leaving a sizable farm abandoned. This land offers an opportunity to Birnam Wood a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadn't figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine who also has an interest in the place. Can they trust him? and as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other. A gripping thriller from the Booker Prize winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
