In Wilderness

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. With genuine suspense and a wonderfully empowering ending. Altogether spectacular. ‘

LEE CHILD, No.1 New York Times bestselling author

Thomas writes like a woman in a fever dream, clashing two wasted, achingly lonely souls together to create sparks that become an all-consuming wildfire … Heartbreaking, bold, relentless, and intensely erotic, In Wilderness is the work of a true original.

Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Someone Else’s Love Story

‘In a mad, haunting, dreamlike story of love, obsession, and wildness, Diane Thomas mixes elegant prose with raw emotion. This novel is unforgettable.’ ‘

William Landay, New York Times bestselling author of Defending Jacob

Utterly compelling … Thomas brings a Zen-like sensibility to her descriptions of the natural world and to the simple everyday matters of living. The two main characters are delineated with a similar keen precision, and the dark obsession ignited by their inevitable collision builds relentlessly to a breathtaking climax

Vicki Lane, author of Under the Skin

The story—the writing—stands out as some of the most original and dynamic work I’ve ever read. In Wilderness is an intensely powerful cat-and-mouse love story as gorgeous and brutal as its Appalachian mountain setting. I devoured every word.
