Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Birnam Wood is on the move . A landslide has closed the Korowai Pass in the South Island of New Zealand, cutting off the town of Thorndike, leaving a sizable farm abandoned. This land offers an opportunity to Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice. But they hadnt figured on the enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine, who also has an interest in the place. Can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other? A gripping thriller from the Booker Prizewinning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed tale of intentions, actions and consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival. I wanted the novel to explore the contemporary political moment without being itself partisan or propagandistic. I wanted it to be fateful but never fatalistic, and satirical, but not in a way that served the status quo. Most of all, though, I wanted it to be a thriller, a book of action and seduction and surprise and possibility, a book where people make choices and mistakes that have deadly consequences, not just for themselves, but for other people, too. I hope that its a gripping book, a book that confides in you and makes you laugh and crucially, in a time of global existential threat that makes you want to know what happens next. Eleanor Catton From the winner of Booker Prize 2013 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781776920631

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: As New. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. Signed. 424 pages. Published in 2023. The author's third novel. One of Eleanor Catton's finest achievements. The true First Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Which would include the British, Canadian, and American Editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. Published in a very small and limited first print run by a university press, the Te Herenga Waka University Press, as a hardcover original only that quickly disappeared. The First Edition is now rare. Presents, in its true First Edition format, Eleanor Catton's "Birnam Wood". An impressive "follow-up" to "The Luminaries" (2013) : Her suspenseful yet thoughtful novel about a group of climate activists who call themselves Birnam. Catton has indicated that the novel is inspired by "Macbeth", no less. "Terrific. As a multilayered, character-driven thriller, it's as good as it gets. Ruth Rendell would have loved it. A beautifully textured work. What a treat" (Stephen King). "A generational cri de coeur. A sophisticated page-turner. The whole thing crackles" (The New York Times). An absolute "must-have" title for Eleanor Catton collectors. This copy is very boldly and beautifully signed in black pen-marker on the title page by Eleanor Catton. It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page. This title is an instant classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed copy of the true First Hardcover Edition/First Printing (New Zealand) available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. Please note: Precedes and should NOT be confused with the British, Canadian, and American Editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the Booker Prize in 2013 for "The Luminaries". One of the most brilliant novelists of our time. A fine collectible copy. ISBN 1776920635. Signed by Author. Seller Inventory # 23606
