Angela Flournoy's Wilderness is a powerful novel exploring family, place, and the search for belonging in the American landscape. Through a narrative that examines how we define home and what it means to feel displaced in your own country, Flournoy creates a story about roots, migration, and the complicated relationship between people and the land they inhabit. The novel becomes a meditation on wilderness both external and internal, the untamed spaces we carry within ourselves.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Flournoy understands that wilderness isn't just a place on a map, it's the feeling of not knowing where you belong. This novel explores the American landscape as both promise and threat, showing us that finding home is never as simple as finding a place to live.
