At twenty-six, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's rapid death from cancer, her family disbanded and her marriage crumbled. With nothing to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life: to walk eleven-hundred miles of the west coast of America - from the Mojave Desert, through California and Oregon, and into Washington state - and to do it alone. She had no experience of long-distance hiking and the journey was nothing more than a line on a map. But it held a promise - a promise of piecing together a life that lay in ruins at her feet. Strayed's account captures the agonies - both mental and physical - of her incredible journey/how it maddened and terrified her, and how, ultimately, it healed her. Wild is a brutal memoir of survival, grief and redemption: a searing portrayal of life at its lowest ebb and at its highest tide.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLERAt twenty-two, Cheryl Strayed thought she had lost everything. In the wake of her mother's death, her family scattered and her own marriage was soon destroyed. Four years later, with nothing more to lose, she made the most impulsive decision of her life. With no experience or training, driven only by blind will, she would hike more than a thousand miles of the Pacific Crest Trail from the Mojave Desert through California and Oregon to Washington State-and she would do it alone.

A searing and luminous novel of a family's grief after unexpected loss, from the author of the huge bestseller Wild.

Cheryl Strayed var 22 år, da hun mistede alt. Hendes mor døde af kræft, hendes ægteskab gik i opløsning, hun droppede ud af college, begyndte at tage heroin ... Fire år senere havde hun nået bunden og tog så den mest impulsive beslutning i sit liv: Helt alene begav hun sig ud på ekstremt krævende vandrerute, Pacific Crest Trail, der strækker sig i et 4000 km langt bælte fra Californien til Canada.Først da den unge kvinde står i vildmarken, med en rygsæk der er så tung at hun ikke kan løfte den, går det op for hende hvad hun har indladt sig på. Hun er for stolt til at opgive, så hun trodser sin angst – og begynder at gå! Her i den rå natur med klapperslanger, bjørne, pumaer bliver hun konfronteret med sig selv på godt og ondt. Mens hun tilbagelægger kilometer efter kilometer, lader hun i sit indre sit eget splintrede liv passere revu. Langsomt finder hun tilbage til den person hun engang var, og hendes historie samler sig i et nyt og sandere billede.WILD er skrevet med spændingsromanens drive. Man overgiver sig fuldstændig til den gribende historie om en rejse der først bringer en ung kvinde til vanviddets rand, så gør hende stærkere og til sidst gør hende hel.WILD er en NEW YORK TIMES bestseller og udvalgt til Ophrah Winfreys bogklub.ANMELDERNE SKREV"Den er et dybt personligt projekt, der - genfortalt som det er, med indsigt, klogskab, humor og godt sprog - vedkommer alverden (...) For læseren er det først og fremmest rejsen og refleksionerne undervejs, der gør »Wild« til noget særligt: velskrevet, dramatisk og tankevækkende erindringslitteratur, eller sagt på en anden måde: begavet hverdagsfilosofi krydret med litterære henvisninger, indsigt og perspektiv."- 4 stjerner, Berlingske"På vej henover fortvivlelsens tinder og dale til målet synes alt i livet at få et mere konkret udtryk, og de nærværende problemer som myg, sult og tabte vandrestøvler bliver efterhånden en katalysator for at kunne forholde sig til de mere æteriske problemer i livet. Som læsere oplever vi det naturligt kædet sammen med hendes opklarende flashback til årene, hvori hun tabte sig selv. Man bliver i den grad taget med, så man netop forstår denne sammenhæng mellem det små og det store."- Jyllands-Posten
