Una universitaria juerguista se electrocuta a finales de los ochenta, muere y regresa a la vida gracias a unas criaturas de aire y luz. Una científica con problemas de oído y de habla descubre que los árboles se comunican entre sí.

Un relato arrollador y exaltado sobre el activismo y la resistencia, que es también una deslumbrante evocación, y una alabanza, del mundo natural.

Esta es la historia de un grupo de personas que aprenden a ver ese mundo y que forman parte su paulatina catástrofe. El clamor de los bosques es un libro para todos los lectores que han dejado de creer en la separación autoimpuesta entre la humanidad y el resto de la creación, y que aguardan la posibilidad transformadora y regeneradora de un regreso al hogar.
