THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
A profound and explosive novel about a spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive
A servant girl escapes from a settlement. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief of everything that her own civilization has taught her.
The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how -and if - we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves.

Critic Reviews
Groff is a mastermind, a masterpiece creator, an intoxicating magician. I wait with impatience for every book and I am always surprised and delighted. The Vaster Wilds feels like her bravest yet, hallucinatory, divine, beyond belief but also entirely human (Daisy Johnson)
Lauren Groff is one of the finest novelists of our age. Her writing is searingly beautiful - delicate and powerful at the same time. The voice of the unnamed girl is haunting and the descriptions of the wild lands are deliciously poetic. The Vaster Wilds first grabs you tenderly and then refuses to let go. It's exquisite, heart-wrenching and utterly mesmerising (Andrea Wulf)

Stunning, devastating
Felt like being pulled into a vortex of despair, survival and triumph, a literary psilocybin journey through the lens of one girl alone in the wilderness.

A deeply moving work
Vaster Wilds is a celebration of life and the interdependence of all that is. It is a searing indictment of all forms of oppression. The writing is richly poetic and beautifully read.

A Love Song to a Lost Wilderness
Into the wilds of an early colonial America flees a young servant girl. Thus begins a fabulous tale of courage and survival. Lauren Groff reinvents the adventure story. Beautiful, lyrical writing & excellent narration.
