The Vaster Wilds

by Lauren Groff

PenguinRandomHouse

    This is a novel of rare and disturbing beauty - a lyrical, terrifying tale of a young girl who has left the brutality of civilization and is trying to stay alive in the beautiful and equally (but differently) brutality of nature. There are wonderful descriptions of the forest she is running through  - the passage from winter to spring as she tries to find food and shelter.

    Beyond the adventure of her seeking the basics is a greater philosophical seeking that will leave the reader thinking for quite a while.
