'A failed revolutionary attempt drives the hero of Hudson's novel to seek refuge in the primeval forests of south-western Venezuela. There, in the 'green mansions' of the title, Abel encounters the wood-nymph Rima, the last survivor of a mysterious aboriginal race. The love that flowers between them is soon overshadowed by cruelty and sorrow.'

We're trying something new - discussion sections - as an encouragement to keep those reading on more of a similar timeline to foster more discussion. These are only softly recommended however and not required at all. Anyone can discuss any part or aspect of the selection at any time. We do ask that if you want to discuss something pertaining to a later section earlier that you put it in spoiler quotes, but if you happen to not then that's fine too.

-Up to the first quarter of the selection (~60 pages)- Begins immediately
-Up to the first half of the selection (~120 pages)- Begins in seven days, around Thursday the 19th of July
-Up to the first three quarters of the selection (~180 pages)- Begins in fourteen days, around Thursday the 26th of July
