Lauren Groff: A New New World Survival Story

Lauren Groff talks to Festival Director Jenny Niven about her mesmerising and ferocious new novel, The Vaster Wilds: the story of a spirited servant girl on the run in 17th century colonial America, who must survive the wilderness alone. Three-time National Book Award finalist and bestselling author of Matrix, Groff’s writing bristles with electricity. Hear her talk about survival, faith, and the joint terror and wonder of nature.
