“A brilliant, riveting fox-trap of a novel — an epic mystery, a family saga and a survival guide. Liz Moore shows us how easy it is for any of us to get lost in the woods, and what to do if you want to be found.  I loved this book.” 
—Miranda Cowley Heller, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Paper Palace

—Douglas Stuart, Booker Prize winning author of Shuggie Bain
 
“A rare gem, an immersive and enthralling literary thriller: a novel about love in the aftermath of tragedy, and about families of the very best – and the worst – kind.”
