Von der hinteren Coverseite

What makes a person want to be a tree?

Bren and his partner Caelyn are feeling at a standstill in their lives. One day they come across a video of people in the forest who believe that if they stand still for long enough they will transform into trees. The idea is absurd. But it's spreading. Soon, people start to go missing and trees appear in unlikely places.

As cities decay and the world becomes greener, Caelyn becomes more and more convinced that arborescence is exactly what will save the planet from human destruction. Bren isn't so sure. Drifting apart, Bren and Caelyn are forced to question what it really means to be human - and if they are ready to stand still.

'A dazzling blend of cosmic eco-horror and arthouse sci-fi... one of the most profound and beautiful books you'll ever read' Chris Flynn, author of Orpheus Nine

A strange and compelling exploration of our current moment... reads like a thriller but has the tenderness and insight of poetry' Ben Rawlence, author of The Treeline

'A balm and an urgent whisper of hope. This is a book to help us believe that all is not lost. Extraordinary' Kate Mildenhall, author of The Hummingbird Effect
