Two storylines in North Woods are especially captivating. The first is that of the inseparable twins Alice and Mary Osgood, who inherit their father’s beloved apple-orchard along with the house. Their unhappy tale – one of love, loneliness, and crippling envy, brought on by Alice’s position as “the fairest” sister – is told simply, as are later intermissions involving their ghosts. Mason’s deftness as a writer becomes most apparent when his prose is at its most stripped-down, and in his descriptions of Mary’s jealousy and Alice’s guilt, you see his extra-fictional interest in the human mind. Such attentiveness is also what makes the storyline of Robert, who has schizophrenia, so absorbing: told alternately through a psychiatrist’s case-notes and the perspectives of his mother Lilian and sister Helen, the narrative is a tale of unconditional maternal love and psychological torment. The towns of Bangor (pronounced Bayn-gore, please—not Bang-er), Orono, and Old Town lie along the western banks of the Penobscot River—not far inland from Ellsworth and Belfast on the coast—and serve as gateways to the North Woods. Once a thriving lumber port, Bangor is Maine’s third-largest city (after Portland and Lewiston), the last major urban outpost with a full-fledged mall. It’s a good destination for history buffs curious about the early North Woods economy. Orono and Old Town, two smaller towns to the north, offer an afternoon’s diversion on rainy days.

The plan was drafted by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, signed by Chairman Lyman Lemnitzer and sent to the Secretary of Defense. Although part of the US government's anti-communist Cuban Project, Operation Northwoods was never officially accepted; it was authorized by the Joint Chiefs of Staff, but then rejected by President Kennedy. None of the false flag operations became active under the auspices of the Operation Northwoods proposals. Enthralling . . . the bigger point of North Woods is how much is forgotten or never known. This resonates at a time when Americans are arguing about what version of history students should be taught.” — The Economist Having taught psychiatry at Stanford, Mr Mason writes evocatively about mental illness and ghosts. He has a naturalist’s eye for detail, such as “the thousand seasons—of frogsong, of thunderheads, of first thaws—that hid within the canonical four”.

Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense. Subject: Justification for US Military Intervention in Cuba (TS)" (PDF). The George Washington University. 13 March 1962. p.11. There are five principal forest regions in North America that comprise the coniferous forest. The forests are equally spread geographically between east and west. Because of the forest's great size, and because of differing climate and soils, North America is favored by a rich variety of these "evergreens". This forest supports four times as many tree species as Europe does. Each arc is beautifully, heartbreakingly conveyed, stitching together subtle connections across time. This astonishes.” — Publishers Weekly (starred review) The main Operations Northwoods proposal was presented in a document titled "Justification for U.S.Military Intervention in Cuba ( TS)," a top secret collection of draft memoranda written by the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS). [1] The document was presented by the Joint Chiefs of Staff to Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara on 13 March 1962 as a preliminary submission for planning purposes. The Joint Chiefs recommended that both the covert and overt aspects of any such operation be assigned to them. Within Maine, the Great North Woods include the Maine North Woods, which are unincorporated townships in Aroostook County. This is an unofficial region of Maine, and no official population figures are published.Throughout the chapters characters imagine each other but do not understand the people who came before. Only readers have the omniscience to intuit what has occurred across lifetimes. The house is the protagonist, but over the centuries many memorable characters cross its threshold.
