I am listening to the audiobook of The Overstory, the Pulitzer Prize winning novel by Richard Powers. Robby recommended it during our trip to Las Vegas a couple of weeks ago. This morning I realized that the character named Patricia Westerford, a drendologist, might be a nod to Peter Wohlleben, who wrote “The Hidden Life of Trees: What They Feel, How They Communicate”. Same initials. Coincidence? Perhaps not, because the book appears to be very well researched.
Excellent book! I got it from a friend for my birthday a year ago. Well written and one I couldn’t put down.
Thanks for the recommendation. I know Peter Wohlleben’s book, great stuff. I managed to grow a chestnut tree and two oak trees from their seeds in the garden of the house we are currently renting. Couldn’t be happier. Hope they make it into grown up trees some 15-20 years from now.
