About This Book
Bea and her chronically ill young daughter Agnes join a government study requiring their group to live without the trappings of civilisation, wandering a vast Wilderness area as the last such place on earth. A visceral dystopian novel about motherhood, the natural world, and what humanity is willing to sacrifice in the name of survival.
