Praise for In Wilderness
“A harrowing exploration of desire and obsession, In Wilderness sends two people into a physical and psychological wilderness that becomes stranger and more terrifying the deeper they go.”—Christina Baker Kline, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Orphan Train
“Not my usual thing, which makes me say it all the louder: I love, love, love this book—the fearless and unflinching story of two extraordinary, vivid people alone in a vast pristine wilderness, told with genuine suspense and a wonderfully empowering ending. In Wilderness is altogether spectacular.”—Lee Child, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Personal
“Thomas writes hauntingly of obsession and survival in this dark, unusual love story. . . . As the author moves her characters through the seasons of 1966, 1967, and 1968, she offers a deep and unforgettable look into how tragedy and madness can shape lives. Written from the points of view of two suffering people, the story takes on an almost surreal, lyrical quality. Riveting and raw.”—Publishers Weekly
“Explosive . . . The tension continues to grow. . . . Thomas writes with richness, describing the natural world as viscerally as she does the interior lives of these two intense characters. . . . Recommended for readers who also like the raw, honest writing of Amy Bloom or Amanda Coplin.”—Library Journal
“Gripping . . . powered by genuine suspense and driven forward by two characters whose lives readers cannot look away from . . . a memorable story of an isolated, beautiful place and of two people trying to make sense of the world they have chosen to live in.”—Booklist
“Unforgettable: a mad, haunting, dreamlike story of love, obsession, and wildness . . . Diane Thomas mixes elegant prose with raw emotion.”—William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Thomas (The Year the Music Changed) writes hauntingly of obsession and survival in this dark, unusual love story set in the 1960s. Ad exec Katherine Reid, after contracting a mysterious and seemingly terminal illness, leaves her old life behind and moves into a mountain cabin with a sleeping bag, a few personal items, and a gun, determined to live what's left of her life in solitude. However, she doesn't count on meeting Danny, a young Vietnam vet and former college student who comes back from his time in combat irreparably damaged, and suffering from what today would be diagnosed as severe post-traumatic stress. Danny, who lives in an abandoned house nearby, rapidly becomes dangerously obsessed with Katherine, who at first is not sure what to make of the young man who appears in her front yard one day. As the two interact, passion quickly flares but it could have deadly consequences. As the author moves her characters through the seasons of 1966, 1967, and 1968, she offers a deep and unforgettable look into how tragedy and madness can shape lives. Written from the points of view of two suffering people, the story takes on an almost surreal, lyrical quality. Riveting and raw.
