The Wilderness

The "stunning" (The Guardian) debut novel from the Booker Prize-winning author of Orbital, about a man who is losing his past to Alzheimer's--also a Booker Prize nominee and an Orange Prize finalist

"Closer to Virginia Woolf's meditative novels than anything else I can think of. . . . This is . . . Mrs. Dalloway prose."--The Washington Post Book World

>The Wilderness holds us in its grip from the first sentence to the last with the sheer beauty of its language and its ruminations on love and loss.
