'One of the best books I've read in the last five or ten years... Wild is angry, brave, sad, self-knowing, redemptive, raw, compelling, and brilliantly written, and I think it's destined to be loved by a lot of people, men and women, for a very long time.' Nick Hornby

Reviews

Epic and moving

*Sunday Times*

Amazing and inspiring

*Nicole Kidman*

funny and fierce
*Independent on Sunday*

Extraordinary... Truly wild: dirty, beautiful, serene
*Sunday Telegraph*

It's not very manly, the topic of weeping while reading... Wild pretty much obliterated me
*Scotsman*

A deeply honest memoir about mother and daughter, solitude and courage, and regaining footing, one step at a time
