Winner of the 2020 World Fantasy Award! From Astounding Award winner and Crawford Award finalist Emily Tesh An ALA RUSA Reading List Selection "A true story of the woods, of the fae, and of the heart. Deep and green and wonderful.”— New York Times bestselling author Naomi Novik There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past—both the green magic of the woods, and the dark things that rest in its heart. Praise for Emily Tesh's Silver in the Wood "A wildly evocative and enchanting story of old forests, forgotten gods, and new love. Just magnificent."—Jenn Lyons, author of The Ruin of Kings

Perfect
I read this all in one sitting, I just could not put it down! I only wish it were longer! The writing is beautiful, the world is immersive and the characters are so well developed. And all that in only 110 pages or so! Also, the joy of reading an LGBTQ narrative that doesn't play into harmful tropes is just *chefs kiss* I RECOMMEND THIS WITH MY WHOLE SOUL.

You know it's a good book when it makes you cry.
This was absolutely beautiful, just such a joy to read truly. The writing was fantastic, I felt so immersed. My heart felt shattered and then so full by the end. I'm not usually a big fan of fantasy but I'm so, so glad I picked this up. I'll definitely need to read the sequel sometime!

Can't understand the praise for this one.Sorry. Won't be buying this writer again. She doesn't work for me.

WOW! What a book!
WOW! What a book! I love fantasy books, but this book deserves it's own genre. This short stunning debut novel is an unbelievable gripping and exciting story about the hidden world in the woods and their old gods. It's so so beautiful written and fascinating, that I read it in one sitting and couldn't stop my unexpected fascination with the creatures that live in the strange world of flora and fauna. The story of Henry and Tobias, and the magic of a myth they’ve always known, is something no one who loves fantasy should miss. And don't let me start about the cover. One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I don't know who recommended it to me, but thank you so much ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Drowned Country is a sequel to Silver in the Wood, Emily Tesh's lush, folkloric debut book and will be published on August 18th. I can't wait to read it 😍

No lo pude leer, pero es genial
Es una de las obras de fantasía que más impacto está teniendo en los últimos años. La pena es que no es el libro original, sino una impresión hecha por Amazon. La propia autora me ha dicho que no sabía que Amazon estuviese haciendo esto con sus libros.

Really refreshing !
It's a nice and warm story if there's one and I really liked Tobias and Henry and Henry's mother. This is short but not in a frustrating way, the pacing is really nice !!
