Adam Johnson's Wayfinder is a sweeping novel exploring navigation, both literal and metaphorical, through interconnected stories spanning time and place. Johnson examines how we find our way through life's uncertainties, the maps we create to make sense of chaos, and what happens when our carefully plotted courses go astray. The novel becomes a meditation on guidance, loss, and the human need to chart meaning in an unmappable world.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Johnson understands that we're all lost, just in different ways, and that the maps we make are as much about comfort as direction. This novel reminds us that sometimes getting lost is how we find what we didn't know we were looking for.
