The God of the Woods: A Novel
The God of the Woods: A Novel by Liz Moore
It is the summer of 1975. In the Adirondack Mountains of upstate New York, a teenage girl vanishes from a summer camp — and the disappearance sends shockwaves through a wealthy, powerful family that has long believed itself untouchable. But this is not the first time a child has gone missing from these woods. Thirteen years earlier, another child disappeared from the same place. That case was never solved.
In The God of the Woods, Liz Moore — acclaimed author of Long Bright River — weaves together multiple timelines and a cast of unforgettable characters to create a sweeping, atmospheric, and utterly gripping mystery about the secrets that families keep, the lies that communities tell, and the dark truths that the wilderness conceals.
Moving between past and present, from the perspectives of the privileged and the powerless, Moore builds a story of breathtaking suspense and emotional depth — one that asks what we owe each other, what we hide from ourselves, and what the woods have always known.
A #1 New York Times bestseller and one of the most acclaimed novels of the year, The God of the Woods is a masterwork of literary suspense that will keep you reading deep into the night.
