Wild

After loss pulled her life apart, Cheryl Strayed walked more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail with almost no experience behind her. Wild is a memoir of that walk and of the years that made it necessary, moving between the physical grind of the trail and the grief, marriage and choices she was carrying up it. The writing is plain and unsparing about her own decisions, which is what separates the book from conventional travel narrative. What the journey involves: • A solo long-distance hike north along the Pacific Crest Trail • Grief, addiction and recovery treated honestly rather than tidily • Landscape writing that stays specific about weather, distance and equipment • English paperback issue, ISBN 9781782390626 For readers of memoir, walking narratives and stories of recovery, and for anyone who finds hard-won honesty better company than advice, available from Boipoka.
