#1.2 Book Club: The North Woods
Chris and Jenny chat about Daniel Mason's The North Woods. A book that proves hard to summarise but we both loved. A short story collection of sorts that spans decades and shares the history of a little house, its strange and wonderful inhabitants, in woodland in New England. If you've read it, join in with our discussion in the comments, we'd love to know your thoughts.
