The Language of Trees: A Novel | Ilie Ruby

2 posts | 2 read | 2 to read

“The Language of Trees, like Whitman’s Leaves of Grass though in a magic realist vernacular, refreshingly asserts that deeply American conviction: the gravest natural instinct is to heal and be healed. A shimmeringly heartfelt story.” —Gregory Maguire, New York Times bestselling author of Wicked “Crafted with suspenseful pacing and delicate imagery, Ilie Ruby’s book combines the qualities of an irresistible ghost story with a healing tale of redemption.” —Elizabeth Rosner, author of The Speed of Light A truly stunning literary debut, Ilie Ruby’s The Language of Trees is a fiercely beautiful novel that explores the relationships that define us, the events that shape us, and the places we will go to in order to save ourselves and those we love most. Fans of Jennifer McMahon, Alice Hoffman, and Niall Williams will be captivated by this haunting tale of homecoming and secrets that sparkles with exceptional writing and a gothic edge.

This is I beautifully written. Part ghost story, part drama, part mystery. The tenderness of the men, each of them very nurturing, makes these characters refreshing to read. I love the descriptions of the scenenery. I'd highly recommend.

The Language of Trees: A Novel | Ilie Ruby

This is a long shot but does anyone have a secret, favorite camping spot in New England? We used to have the perfect place. It was quiet & secluded. We had a giant field to ourselves with wildflowers, a mountain view, & our own, private outhouse. We could make as much noise as we wanted ā€” howl at the moon, if we decided ā€” & no one was around to hear. We could drive-in but it felt wild. The elderly couple who owned it passed (šŖ) & we‘re at a loss.

monalyisha We‘ve actually been at a loss for two whole years! We can‘t find anyplace like it. š’” (It was a place in Vermont called Oregon Brook.) 6y

monalyisha So, if anyone‘s following my quest/is on a similar quest, I just found a website that seems kinda like AirBnB but for camping. It seems promising. š¤˛š¸»www.hipcamp.com 6y
