Publisher's Summary
Birnam Wood is on the move...
Five years ago, Mira Bunting founded a guerrilla gardening group: Birnam Wood. An undeclared, unregulated, sometimes-criminal, sometimes-philanthropic gathering of friends, this activist collective plants crops wherever no one will notice, on the sides of roads, in forgotten parks, and neglected backyards. For years, the group has struggled to break even. Then Mira stumbles on an answer, a way to finally set the group up for the long term: a landslide has closed the Korowai Pass, cutting off the town of Thorndike. Natural disaster has created an opportunity, a sizable farm seemingly abandoned.
But Mira is not the only one interested in Thorndike. Robert Lemoine, the enigmatic American billionaire, 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, Birnam Wood, and their entrepreneurial spirit, he suggests they work this land. But can they trust him? And, as their ideals and ideologies are tested, can they trust each other?
A gripping psychological thriller from the Booker Prize-winning author of The Luminaries, Birnam Wood is Shakespearean in its wit, drama and immersion in character. A brilliantly constructed consideration of intentions, actions, and consequences, it is an unflinching examination of the human impulse to ensure our own survival.

Far fetched
narration is fantastic, story is far fetched, still some of the dialogues and ideas espoused makes it interesting.

really great!
It's an interesting thriller that is fast-paced and keeps you hooked the whole time. The second half was completely unexpected, yet the story has quite a good ending, if I may venture to describe it as such. The characters are well crafted and pretty interesting to follow. Overall, it was a great experience, which was obviously helped a lot by the narrator's performance.

A brilliant estimation of human failings
Brilliant usage of character development to tell the story. An apt and sensitive portrayal of our times and the trembling threads of need that hold lives in knots which unravel at the slightest touch. Dark yet enlightening the reader is made aware of every trap to which we are susceptible , of insecurities that drive our ambitions, of dangerous men in influential positions, of the sweetness after which we thirst and in its pursuit become blind to the finer principles that should govern our lives. This is a giant of a novel
