Shortlisted for the Orwell Prize • A Parade Best Book of the Year • A Paste Most Anticipated Historical Fiction for Fall

“[Sarah Jessica Parker] is curating as a publisher some of the most beautiful novels that I read. And this one, in love with it. Don't miss it.” ―Adriana Trigiani, You Are What You Read


“Romance, tragedy, war, the horrors of the pogroms, business dynasties, and more make this closely observed novel inspired somewhat by Grant’s family story into a page turner.” —Parade


It’s 1913 when Mina, the young and carefree daughter of a Jewish merchant, roams into a forest on the edge of the Baltic Sea looking for mushrooms. Instead, she encounters a gang of unruly, charismatic Bolsheviks—an adventure that will become the stuff of familial lore for generations to come. Intending to save her from further corruption, and in an act that forever changes the trajectory of their family’s life, Mina and her eldest brother, Jossel, board a ship to England.

There the threat of a different war looms large. When WWI hits, Jossel is sent to the front, where he keeps a severely wounded soldier in his unit alive ‘til morning by telling him tales—including that his sister Mina will marry him if he survives. The soldier lives and asks for Mina’s hand, their marriage uniting two growing trade dynasties. But over time Mina and Jossel will learn that not everyone in their family has survived the wars and pogroms, even as they and their offspring struggle to build new lives in Liverpool in the midst of ever-shifting discriminations.

Based on the author’s own family history and legends, The Story of the Forest is a remarkable record of family lore; a meditation on the power of stories to ground us, particularly in the face of life’s inevitable losses, told with a keen wit and a sharp eye to the charms and the foibles of family by masterful British novelist Linda Grant.

professional and personal use.

The STAEDTLER Lumocolor Universal Pen is a versatile and reliable tool that I highly recommend for both professional and personal use. Here's why it's become a staple in my collection: Pros: 1. **Versatile Medium**: The medium felt tip of this permanent marker is perfect for a wide range of applications. Whether I'm writing, drawing, or labeling, the tip provides consistent lines and smooth, effortless writing. 2. **Permanent Ink**: The permanent ink dries quickly and is waterproof, smear-proof, and fade-resistant, making it ideal for projects that require long-lasting durability. I've used it on various surfaces, including paper, cardboard, plastic, and metal, and the results have been consistently excellent. 3. **Vibrant Colors**: The ink colors are vibrant and bold, adding visual impact to my projects. Whether I'm using black for precise labeling or opting for a pop of color for creative purposes, the Lumocolor Universal Pen delivers rich, saturated hues. 4. **Comfortable Grip**: The pen features a comfortable grip that allows for extended periods of use without causing hand fatigue or discomfort. The ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable hold, making it a pleasure to use for both short and long writing sessions. 5. **Durable Construction**: STAEDTLER is known for its high-quality craftsmanship, and the Lumocolor Universal Pen is no exception. The pen is well-built and durable, withstanding daily use without drying out or experiencing ink leakage. Cons: 1. **Slightly Pricey**: While the quality of the Lumocolor Universal Pen justifies its price, it may be slightly more expensive than other permanent markers on the market. However, I believe the reliability and performance are well worth the investment. Overall, the STAEDTLER Lumocolor Universal Pen is a top-notch permanent marker that consistently delivers exceptional results. Its versatility, vibrant colors, and durable construction make it a valuable tool for any creative or organizational endeavor.
