Reviews
Praise for The Vaster Wilds: "Extraordinary... Groff builds and maintains suspense on multiple levels, while offering an unflinching portrayal of her heroine's desperation and will to survive. This is a triumph." ­-- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review "Groff's seventh book, a captivating survival story, starts off running....this wholly enveloping book has ... deep examinations of faith, dominion, and human nature; Groff's seemingly joyfully related, seamless period prose; and the time-collapsing sense of reading a text channeled directly from the mind of a long-ago-living, breathing woman facing extraordinary circumstances."-- Booklist, Starred Review "Groff's imaginative journey into a distant time and place is powered by a thrumming engine... Immersion in the girl's experience provides a virtual vacation from civilization ... The writing is inspired, the imaginative power near mystic."-- ­Kirkus Reviews "Combines visceral detail and magisterial sweep ... Lauren Groff's fifth novel, set in Virginia in the early 17th century, is a classic study of solitude and survival that stars a teenage girl fleeing starvation--and the scene of a crime." -- Shelf Awareness "Illustrate[s] a fluid, almost cyclical understanding of history, and faith's sticky place within it." ­-- Elle, Praise for The Vaster Wilds: "[A] thrilling historical adventure. . .the existential themes at the heart of Lauren Groff's fifth novel--the rawness of life, the precious inner-workings of nature, the drive to continue on in the face of challenges--are as timely as they come." --TIME "Holds tension and sows mystery on every page." --Vulture "Extraordinary...

    Received 11/29/25. Thank you for a very pleasant, smooth & quick transaction. The item was packaged well for shipping. It was in new condition as it was decribed. Department 56 always produced quality figurines. Considering this piece has been discontinued, the price was reasonable. I am well pleased with this transaction and I know I will enjoy the piece for years to come.

I Was Concerned At 1st, When Finding The Package N My Mail Box, As I Heard It Rattle, So, Not 2 Agrivate It Any Further, I Was Very Careful Upon Opening It, As I Found That The DVD Was Loose, & Not On The Hub Within The DVD Case. From My Past Xperiences, This Is Usually A Bad Sign, As The DVD's R Usually Scratched, But Luckily, This 1 Still Arrived N Xcellent Cond. I Highly Recommend This 'Saved' Seller! 👍

    Far and away the ugliest seller I have encountered in more than 20 years. (eBay tells me it's 21.) Sent a book described as good, but it was underlined IN INK from cover to cover!!! Mistakes can happen, but this seller ignored three emails, and when I submitted photos and asked for a full $21.39 refund for this worthless book, I was offered $4.99. She just wanted to get me irritated all over again. When eBay intervened and saw photos, a full refund was immediate. Avoid her like the plague!

  • Purchased this item more for content tha...

    Purchased this item more for content than condition and so I wasn't surprised when I opened it up and saw quite a bit of puckering on more than a few pages. This does not affect the readability in any way,. Ms Groff is expert at the spinning of a tale and is super good at language! She is especially good at Colonial-speak and invoking the God nonsense that many still believe. I have many examples in my reading life of abandoning books half-read . This never happens with Lauren Groff ! She good!
