suzannetronier 's review for:
The Vaster Wilds
by Lauren Groff
This was an extraordinary book that will stay with me for some time. A young servant girl in the early 1600s strikes out on her own in the early American wilderness. We know she is escaping her bad circumstances and the story of what happened seeps out slowly over the course of her harrowing trek. This is the best survival story I have ever read and it moves forward at a breathless pace. As I was nearing the end of the book, I began questioning where she was going and how it would end. And then it unfolds in a way that entirely makes sense. We are moving in the mind of this brave, sensitive and deeply intelligent girl caught in her journey and caught in picture of a singular life.
