The disaster has created an opportunity for Birnam Wood, a guerrilla gardening collective that plants crops wherever no one will notice.\u003cbr\u003e     For Mira, Birnam Wood’s founder, occupying the farm at Thorndike would mean a shot at solvency at last. But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike. The enigmatic American billionaire Robert Lemoine 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 and Birnam Wood, he makes them an offer that would set them up for the long term. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust one another?\u003cbr\u003e     \u003ci\u003eBirnam Wood\u003c\/i\u003e is Shakespearean in its drama, Austenian in its wit, and, like both influences, fascinated by what makes us who we are. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is a mesmerizing, unflinching consideration of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.","brand":"PRH","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47648104972426,"sku":"9780771024399","price":24.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0744\/7452\/0714\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ea89b9eb-521f-4cfd-a340-324e1009b5f7.jpg?v=1770342756","url":"https:\/\/curiosityhousebooks.com\/products\/birnam-wood","provider":"Curiosity House Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
