O, The Oprah Magazine, A Title to Pick Up Now
“Tantalizing . . . Geni brilliantly captures the magnetism of a
fanatic whose diagnosis of society’s ills is spot–on but whose
conclusions are deranged.” —The Washington Post
“Geni's character–driven environmental thriller—think Silent Spring
by way of Celeste Ng—centers on the survivors of a tornado that
destroys an Oklahoma farm and kills the family's father.” —O, The
Oprah Magazine
“Unforgiving landscapes, untamed nature and animal instincts remain
propulsive themes for Chicago–based author Abby Geni. In her latest
literary thriller, The Wildlands, she tells the harrowing story of
the McClouds, an Oklahoma family that loses everything in a
Category 5 tornado, after which two of the orphaned siblings go
rogue and commit acts of violence.” —Chicago Tribune
“From the moment Abby Geni’s second novel starts, you know you’re
in good hands . . . Geni spins a careful, humane, moving story . .
. The Wildlands is [a novel] filled with rewards for the patient
reader.” —Charles Finch, USA Today
“[An] impressive second novel . . . Geni’s genius is that she makes
us empathise with every member of this troubled family, and also
with the animals Tucker yearns to protect.” —Jane Ciabattari, BBC
Culture
“Abby Geni's haunting literary thriller, The Wildlands, explores
humans' relationships with nature and what drives a person to
fanaticism.” —Real Simple
“Every scene of this cleverly plotted novel is drawn with complex
prose, rich detail, and an authorial voice that wisely observes the
human animal. Abby Geni is my new favorite writer.” —Bonnie Jo
Campbell, author of Mothers, Tell Your Daughters
