About this listen

'One of the greatest storytellers of our time' - Delia Owens, author of Where the Crawdads Sing

From the multimillion copy number one bestselling author of The Women, The Nightingale and The Four Winds, Wild is a remarkable story about the resilience of the human spirit, the triumph of hope and the promise of new beginnings.

'Don’t take peace for granted, he’d said to her often. It can shatter like glass'

In the rugged Pacific Northwest of the United States lies the Olympic National Forest – a vast expanse of impenetrable darkness and impossible beauty. From deep within this mysterious woodland, a six-year-old girl appears. Speechless and alone, she offers no clue as to her identity, no hint of her past.

Having retreated to her hometown after a scandal left her career in ruins, child psychiatrist Dr Julia Cates begins working with the extraordinary little girl. Naming her Alice, Julia is determined to free her from a prison of unimaginable fear and isolation, and discover the truth about Alice’s past. The shocking facts of Alice’s life test the limits of Julia’s faith and strength, even as she struggles to make a home for Alice – and find a new one for herself.

Critic Reviews

A rich, compelling novel of love, sacrifice and survival, as epic as the Alaskan landscape it so vividly describes (Kate Morton on The Great Alone)
Hannah has delivered a masterclass in all the different ways love can both save us and destroy us [. . . ] She perfectly captures and evokes the majesty and splendid isolation of Alaska and it feels a privilege to have journeyed there with her. This is a story that will stay with me for a long, long time (Karen Swan on The Great Alone)
Epic . . . By the end, I was surrounded by snow drifts of tissues damp with my tears (Washington Post on The Great Alone)
Great characters, great plots, great emotions, who could ask for more in a novel? (Isabel Allende on The Nightingale)
Movingly written and plotted with the skill of Greek tragedy. You’ll keep turning the pages until the last racking sob (Daily Mail on The Nightingale)
