Book Club January 29: Birnam Wood

Join fellow Vermont Yalies for an online discussion of Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton, on January 29 from 7:00 until 8:30 PM on Zoom.

Birnam Wood is the third novel by New Zealand writer Eleanor Catton. Published in February 2023, the novel follows members of guerilla gardening collective Birnam Wood as, with the help of a charismatic tech billionaire, they undertake a new project on abandoned farmland.

Like her previous novel The Luminaries, the book is set in a fictionalised New Zealand, primarily in and around a national park in the South Canterbury region. The title is taken from a line in Macbeth.
