I gathered here nine books that feature nature not just as setting but as a protagonist, a living, breathing part of the story in its own right. And as climate change rises around us, more people are coming alive to the ways that nature is something large and threatening and awesome: something bigger than all of us, something, perhaps, with its own vengeance and its own justices in sight. The fear, the awe, comes from our beginnings, when thick forests and open ocean were the place of predators, poisons, storms. But in our core, we know that nature has always been something wide, and open, and frightening. Many fiction books starring nature are rooted in a way that’s familiar - flowering gardens, towering trees, views of the ocean from afar.
