The Vaster Wilds

____
On sale date: September 12, 2023

A taut and electrifying novel from celebrated bestselling author Lauren Groff,
about one spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive
A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries
nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that
burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits
of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own
civilization has taught her.

Lauren Groff’s new novel is at once a thrilling adventure story and a penetrating
fable about trying to find a new way of living in a world succumbing to the churn
of colonialism. 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.
