When a Tree Falls in a Forest

By Chris Bentley

Book cover with a forest silhouette at sunset and the title EWhen a Tree Falls in a Forest in large, bold letters. The author’s name, Chris Bentley, is at the bottom.

Chris Bentley’s WHEN A TREE FALLS IN A FOREST is an ecologically insightful and revealing novel that centers on a family’s ill-fated rafting trip aimed at reconnecting them. Through it, Bentley conveys how nature closely imitates human resilience, such as with the Salmon River, which keeps moving throughout the book despite the varying levels of tragedy it witnesses, espousing a quiet reverence for the balance between destruction and rebirth. Loss, resilience, and the natural world’s indifference to human suffering is also explored through alternating perspectives.
