An absolutely astonishing, breathtaking achievement.
White’s genius was such, that each glorious, spellbinding word is so perfectly poised, you feel, at times, that you must abruptly close the book and, gulping down air, wonder at the sheer beauty of our world and the majestic sweep of our lives.
‘The Tree of Man’ is, by turns, uplifting, brutal, life affirming and utterly, utterly compelling.
