In beautifully crafted prose, Mary Swan examines the volatile collisions between our best intentions—how a passing stranger can leave an indelible mark on our lives even as the people we know most intimately become alienated by tides of self-preservation and regret. 

A supreme literary achievement, The Boys in the Trees offers a chilling story that swells with acutely observed emotion and humanity.

“Swan’s prose is tense, rhythmic and emotionally evocative with its forceful observations and willed ambiguities.” -- The New York Times Book Review
