North Woods is by Daniel Mason. A historical fiction novel that reminds me very much of Alice Hoffman's Blackbird House. It is a series of stories all set in a house in the woods of New England. The stories follow the inhabitants of the house from the days of the Puritans to the present. Some of the stories are more intriguing than others, but watching the house and the lands that surround it transform and yet stay the same leaves the reader with a feeling of peaceful solidity.
Ratings: 12th grade - 6 out of 10 - P (profanity) - AC (mature thematic content).
