I was so impressed with this novel. It was recommended to me by a friend and I enjoyed every minute of reading it. There are many reasons why I loved it so much and why I would recommend it. So, let's get to it.
Beyond sings the woods is so poetically written, something that is difficult to do in a novel. What is interesting is that the prose itself is pretty straightforward no embellishments but still there is something undoubtedly poetic in it. Usually it is the short stories that have lyrical characteristics, but this novel has poetic brilliance. Nevertheless, it functions like a novel. The narrative follows a life of a family living in a village. Sounds simple? Yes, but the author really succeeds in making the people and the surroundings in the novel alive. There is something for everyone: love, conflicts and great descriptions of nature.
This novel is also a great study of human character. In many ways, it reminds me on the great Russian realists. It is always easy to write …
