A gripping psychological thriller from the BookerPrize-winning and bestselling author of The Luminaries.

Birnam Wood is on the move...
Five years ago, Mira Bunting founded a guerrilla gardening group: Birnam Wood. An undeclared, unregulated,
sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic gathering of friends, this activist collective plants crops wherever no one will
notice, on the sides of roads, in forgotten parks, and neglected backyards. For years, the group has struggled to break
even. Then Mira stumbles on an answer, a way to finally set the group up for the long term: a landslide has closed the
Korowai Pass, cutting off the town of Thorndike. Natural disaster has created an opportunity, a sizable farm seemingly
abandoned.
But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike. Robert Lemoine, the enigmatic American billionaire, has snatched it
up to build his end-times bunker - or so he tells Mira when he catches her on the property. Intrigued by Mira, Birnam
Wood, and their entrepreneurial spirit, he suggests they work this land. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals and
ideologies are tested, can they trust each other?
A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean
in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and
consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.
