The Wilderness by Samantha Harvey
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
4.0
I don't usually gravitade towards contemporary or literary fiction books, but I love quiet, character driven stories and I'm intrigued whenever something isn't told chronologically and you don't quite know what is real and what isn't. I think the book very much succeeds in those regards.
There are a lot of important and difficult topics in here, but it tells you about them without any drama. It's all very dream-like and fuzzy, there isn't really a plot but you can see things coming together as time passes.
A lot of the plot points are things I'm usually not too interested in to read about, but the presentation here worked for me.
