The Vaster Wilds reviews from people you don't follow
A servant girl flees colonial Jamestown, leaving behind starvation, hardship and something even worse. She has to survive in the wilderness with only her wits and a few possessions.
This book was breathtaking - the whole story is told through the thoughts of a servant girl (in the 3rd person). Yet it doesn’t, at any point, become boring. There’s so much going on: her escape, her methods of survival, the people and animals she nearly meets along the way, the landscape and its contrast to the squalor of “civilised” life left behind in Jamestown. You can feel her desperation to get away, he wonder at what she sees and her drive to survive.
Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough.
