SHORTLISTED FOR THE ORWELL PRIZE FOR POLITICAL FICTION 2023



''Epic and marvellously entertaining... There''s a furious energy to the novel, which constantly moves forward even as it looks sorrowfully back''
FINANCIAL TIMES

''Magnificent... I want to press a copy on everyone I know''
NIGELLA LAWSON

''Epic, magnificent, beautiful... I couldn''t put it down''
PHILIPPA PERRY

''Jewel-like clarity... exceptional''
RICHARD COLES

''Exquisite writing [and] a triumphant, elegant ending''
MAIL ON SUNDAY

''An intelligent family saga... ambitious and moving and funny''
TESSA HADLEY

It''s 1913 and a young, carefree and recklessly innocent girl, Mina, goes out into the forest on the edge of the Baltic sea and meets a gang of rowdy young men with revolution on their minds. It sounds like a fairy tale but it''s life.

The adventure leads to flight, emigration and a new land, a new language and the pursuit of idealism or happiness - in Liverpool. But what of the stories from the old country; how do they shape and form the next generations who have heard the well-worn tales?

From the flour mills of Latvia to Liverpool suburbia to post-war Soho, The Story of the Forest is about myths and memory and about how families adapt in order to survive. It is a story full of the humour and wisdom we have come to relish from this wonderful writer.
