A review by venusenvy
The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff

5.0

Hard to write any sort of true review as I’ve just finished the book and am left breathless in its wake.  Luminous and triumphant.  Much like with Matrix, Lauren Groff renders the distant past with equal parts familiarity and strangeness.  This Girl became so dear to me and so real.  The grief and awe and sadness and wonder are certain to linger — there are passages from this book I can’t imagine ever forgetting.  Oh God, what a novel!!!
