Description

The Boys in the Trees by Mary Swan is a haunting literary novel set in a small town in southern Ontario, where one devastating event sends shockwaves through an entire community. The novel was nominated for the Scotiabank Giller Prize and is known for its quiet intensity, emotional depth, and beautifully observed prose.

William, his wife, and their two daughters are new immigrants who appear to be a devoted family. But when William is accused of embezzlement, he commits an unthinkable act that leaves neighbours and friends struggling to understand the man they thought they knew.

Swan explores grief, memory, family, and the lasting effects of tragedy through the interconnected lives of those left behind. Rich with symbolism and atmosphere, The Boys in the Trees is a compelling choice for readers of Canadian literary fiction, psychological drama, and deeply emotional family stories.
