Overview
Una sirvienta escapa de un asentamiento inglés del siglo xvii y se adentra en el aún salvaje territorio norteamericano. Carece incluso de nombre, pero la guían su ingenio, su fe y la imperiosa voluntad de alejarse de un terrible e inexplicable suceso. Lo que encontrará en esa tierra hermosa y brutal sobrepasará los límites de su propia imaginación y hará que se tambaleen sus creencias y todo lo que había aprendido de la civilización. Un viaje poderoso y emocionante a lo desconocido y hacia la emancipación con el que Lauren Groff reflexiona sobre nuestra capacidad de adaptación y supervivencia al entorno.
«Lauren Groff ha reinventado la novela de aventuras. [...] Utiliza las palabras con la precisión de un cirujano y la pasión de un maestro, sin sacrificar nunca el oficio por el arte ni viceversa». -- Bethanne Patrick, Los Angeles Times
«Un page-turner con motor propio [...]. En cuanto te sumerges en sus ritmos, se convierte en un viaje absorbente y plenamente satisfactorio». -- Vogue («Uno de los libros más esperados de 2023»)
«Una emocionante aventura histórica [...] cuyos temas existenciales —la crudeza de la vida, los inestimables mecanismos inter - nos de la naturaleza, el impulso de seguir adelante— son de una intensa actualidad». -- Shannon Carlin, Time («Uno de los libros más esperados del otoño de 2023»)

ONE OF BARACK OBAMA'S FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2023
NAMED A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR BY NPR, TIME, ESQUIRE, VOGUE, LA TIMES, SLATE, HARPER'S BAZAAR and others.
A taut and electrifying novel from celebrated bestselling author Lauren Groff, about one spirited girl alone in the wilderness, trying to survive.
A servant girl escapes from a colonial settlement in the wilderness. She carries nothing with her but her wits, a few possessions, and the spark of god that burns hot within her. What she finds in this terra incognita is beyond the limits of her imagination and will bend her belief in everything that her own civilization has taught her.
Lauren Groff’s new novel is at once a thrilling adventure story and a penetrating fable about trying to find a new way of living in a world succumbing to the churn of colonialism. The Vaster Wilds is a work of raw and prophetic power that tells the story of America in miniature, through one girl at a hinge point in history, to ask how—and if—we can adapt quickly enough to save ourselves.
“Lauren Groff just reinvented the adventure novel."—Los Angeles Times
“Glorious…surroundings come alive in prose that lives and breathes upon the page." —Boston Globe
“Part historical, part horror, part breathless thriller, part wilderness survival tale, The Vaster Wilds is a story about the lengths to which we will go to stay alive."—NPR staff pick
