Wilton Library Readers: Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton

Professional book discussion leader Susan Boyar discusses Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton this month at Wilton Library. A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize–winning author of The Luminaries, Eleanor Catton’s Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its drama, Austenian in its wit, and, like both influences, fascinated by what makes us who we are. A brilliantly constructed study of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is a mesmerizing, unflinching consideration of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
