The Sycamore and the Sibil is an exploration in feminism and what it's like to be pursued by a powerful and unpleasant man, which is familiar territory by now but the take on the magic in the story is really interesting. I've read several stories from a tree perspective, but it's always worth thinking about how life would be that slow, and the price that would be paid to achieve that slowness. Enjoyed it.
