Two Trees Make a Forest: In Search of My Family's Past Among Taiwan's Mountains and Coasts
An exploration of one woman's search for history and belonging amidst an ever-shifting landscape.
An exhilarating, anticolonial reclamation of nature writing and memoir, rooted in the forests and flatlands of Taiwan, Two Trees Makes a Forest is a genre-shattering book that encompasses history, travel, nature, and memoir to create an extraordinary narrative showing how geographical forces are interlaced with our family stories.
“An elegiac book, which smoothly incorporates historical and travel threads. A beautiful and personal view of an island (and an author) shaped by environment and history.” -- Kirkus Reviews
