Emily Tesh sa zameriava na témy identity, komunity a hľadania zmyslu v komplexnom svete. Jej písanie sa vyznačuje hlbokým vhľadom do ľudskej psychiky a starostlivo prepracovaným jazykom. Tesh skúma, ako postavy nachádzajú spojenie a ako sa vyrovnávajú so stratou a premenou. Jej dielo je pozvánkou k zamysleniu nad vlastnou cestou a vzťahom k ostatným.
"Even the Wild Man of Greenhollow can't ignore a summons from his mother, when that mother is the indomitable Adela Silver, practical folklorist. Henry Silver does not relish what he'll find in the grimy seaside town of Rothport, where once the ancient wood extended before it was drowned beneath the sea - a missing girl, a monster on the loose, or, worst of all, Tobias Finch, who loves him."--Publisher
There is a Wild Man who lives in the deep quiet of Greenhollow, and he listens to the wood. Tobias, tethered to the forest, does not dwell on his past life, but he lives a perfectly unremarkable existence with his cottage, his cat, and his dryads. When Greenhollow Hall acquires a handsome, intensely curious new owner in Henry Silver, everything changes. Old secrets better left buried are dug up, and Tobias is forced to reckon with his troubled past, both the green magic of the woods, and the dark things that rest in its heart
