FrancescaJ , #BirnamWood couldn’t be more different from #EleanorCatton’s previous Booker prize winning novel. It’s a fairly straightforward literary thriller and one that is very much of the zeitgeist with environmentalism, social media & billionaires under the microscope. Even the morally upright journalist thinks about his scoop as a path to fame. It’s very readable but also, particularly at the end, just a little bit silly. #bookstodon @bookstodon
