Description

Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars.
Some said the Van Laars deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son.

Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy.

Now, fifteen years later, the daughter the family had in their grief has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances arent connected.

Some say they are.

Reviews

'The God of the Woods is 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, bestselling author of The Paper Palace

Praise for Liz Moore:

[Moores] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love New York Times Book Review

Moores observations are informed and compassionate Guardian

This is a remarkable novel, elegant, wise, and beautifully constructed. I loved the book Roddy Doyle

In sparse, urgent prose, Liz Moore delivers a staggeringly beautiful meditation on love, legacy, and emotional necessities that make life worth living. That lump in your throat You won't know quite how it got therenor believe how long it will stick around once the final page is turned TA OBREHT, author of The Tigers Wife
