HarperCollins Publishers Inc The New Wilderness
Book SynopsisA Washington Post, NPR, and Buzzfeed Best Book of the Year • Shortlisted for the Booker Prize“More than timely, the novel feels timeless, solid, like a forgotten classic recently resurfaced — a brutal, beguiling fairy tale about humanity. But at its core, The New Wilderness is really about motherhood, and about the world we make (or unmake) for our children.” — Washington Post5 of 5 stars. Gripping, fierce, terrifying examination of what people are capable of when they want to survive in both the best and worst ways. Loved this.— Roxane Gay via TwitterMargaret Atwood meets Miranda July in this wildly imaginative debut novel of a mother''s battle to save her daughter in a world ravaged by climate change; A prescient and suspenseful book from the author of the acclaimed story collection, Man V. Nature. Bea’s five-year-old daughter, Agnes, is slowly wasting away, consumed by the smog and pollution of the overdeveloped metropolis that most of the population now calls home. If they stay in the city, Agnes will die. There is only one alternative: the Wilderness State, the last swath of untouched, protected land, where people have always been forbidden. Until now. Bea, Agnes, and eighteen others volunteer to live in the Wilderness State, guinea pigs in an experiment to see if humans can exist in nature without destroying it. Living as nomadic hunter-gatherers, they slowly and painfully learn to survive in an unpredictable, dangerous land, bickering and battling for power and control as they betray and save one another. But as Agnes embraces the wild freedom of this new existence, Bea realizes that saving her daughter’s life means losing her in a different way. The farther they get from civilization, the more their bond is tested in astonishing and heartbreaking ways. At once a blazing lament of our contempt for nature and a deeply humane portrayal of motherhood and what it means to be human, The New Wilderness is an extraordinary novel from a one-of-a-kind literary force.

Before you crack open this book, be forewarned: You will fall in love." -- -- Joanna Rakoff, My Salinger Year "A remarkable debut where varying perspectives on faith, family, and the search for meaning are explored by characters brought to life with a profound sense of empathy for what it means to be human." -- -- Simon Van Booy, author of Everything Beautiful Began After "An absorbing tale of one family's search for meaning, The Mystics of Mile End is a beautiful and at times heartbreaking read." -- - Anya Ulinich, author of Lena Finkle's Magic Barrel "This skillfully spun story forces us to look at life's toughest questions, while we marvel at its everyday beauty and heartbreak." -- - Lee Woodruff, author of In an Instant and Those We Love Most "The 'Mystics' in Sigal Samuel's charming and generous book may be found near the intersection of Nicole Krauss's The History of Love, Jhumpa Lahiri's The Namesake, and Mordecai Richler's The Apprenticeship of Duddy Kravitz. This wonderfully self-assured debut explores the perils of faith and doubt." -- -- Adam Langer, Crossing California "Every character in this outstanding first novel is searching for a reason to exist...The need for human relationships and mysticism's relationship to life impel them forward...This heart-stopping narrative will keep readers glued until the very end." -- -- Library Journal Starred Review "A family is pulled to Jewish mysticism...in this expansive saga about faith, love, and loss...The minor characters, ever present in the background, shine as their stories conclude powerfully...A tale about the stories we let ourselves believe." -- -- Kirkus Review "An inventive debut novel, "The Mystics of Mile End" by Sigal Samuel (Morrow) is set in the Montreal Jewish neighborhood of Mile End, with questions of faith, religion and identity swirling about, as each member of a family dabbles in the Kabbalah." -- -- The Jewish Week "With a refreshing new voice that has a dash of Anne Tyler and a sprinkling of Sholem Aleichem, Samuel explores the search for enlightenment in her standout debut...the author shows with heart and insight that what we seek is often right in front of us." -- Publishers Weekly "Using a geometry of her own...Samuel draws a nigh-perfect circle in The Mystics of Mile End...that nourishes both the heart and mind. Samuel's frugality in introducing characters and motifs results in a tightly focused and elegantly served novel that is something of a feast to read." -- -- Los Angeles Review of Books "What's most striking is [Samuel's] ability to confidently imbue a story about a family struggling with contemporary issues with insight and humanity gleaned from age-old mystical texts." -- - Jewish Book World "Samuel crafts an unforgettable narrative in which her characters fight to save each other from themselves and the unknown. THE MYSTICS OF MILE END will leave readers felling nourished with insight, emotion, and a healthy dose of Yiddish." -- -- Bust "Absolutely brilliant! An engaging story about sorrow, secrets and mystic knowledge!" -- -- Fresh Fiction

With her trademark wit and honesty, even in the face of sorrow, Fishman will take you on a journey you won’t soon forget.” — Greer Hendricks, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of An Anonymous Girl “Though it speaks to one of the most difficult issues facing our nation with wisdom and deep grace, this is not an ‘issue’ book. This is a book about people, flawed but striving, broken but hopeful. Once I started, I couldn’t put it down.” — Joshilyn Jackson, New York Times bestselling author of Never Have I Ever “With psychological acuity, Fishman...takes us to the place where there is beauty in brokenness, where there is light in the dark, and where we can find intimacy in our honesty...From the first stunning choice to the last, I could not put this novel down.” — Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of Becoming Mrs. Lewis “Zoe Fishman writes with tenderness and urgency, with an ear attuned to all the silences, secrets, and strain that frequently capsize modern family life.
