Beskrivning

One of the most vivid, gripping and chilling first novels of recent years, The Republic of Trees tells the story of Michael, Louis, Alex and Isobel, four children on the edge of adolescence, who run away to the forest to establish their own utopian community. All seems well in the Republic of Trees - until the sudden arrival of Joy. Under her influence, their relationships grow more erotic and obsessive, and the shadows of a nightmarish dystopia start to encroach on reality . . .

Recensioner i media

"'Sam Taylor clearly relishes storytelling and his novel has the kind of swift pace that's rare in literary fiction, sweeping you up and carrying you to a place where anything might happen.' Daily Mail 'An enchanting and deeply disturbing first novel... sensitive, at times beautiful.' Observer 'A bold debut, and one wants to see what Taylor does next.' Independent"
