Reviews

Flournoy is singular -- RAVEN LEILANI Wonderfully ambitious... Flournoy explores the complexity of friendship, family and home in a voice that is expansive yet intimate, humorous yet devastating -- BRIT BENNETT Flournoy has a long-lens talent, capable of spanning great distances while keeping her characters in crisp, but always compassionate, focus -- ELEANOR CATTON True friendship can be a refuge, but The Wilderness isn't cozy or tidy in its portrayal of these relationships. Flournoy instead beautifully renders how love - though at times thorny and confusing - is the one thing that keeps us connected * TIME (The 100 Must-Read Books of 2025) * Flournoy inhabits a quartet of shifting perspectives with wit, tenderness and exquisite grace... Transcendent... Flournoy's account of the emotional vicissitudes of friendship and its endurance evokes the hushed, disconsolate quality of [Toni] Morrison * NEW YORK TIMES *
