An epic, transformative novel following a young woman as she navigates a series of romantic relationships, reckons with the false promise of family intimacy, and seeks connection with the sublime and natural worlds. Lucy is a senior in college struggling to quell the effects of a sexual assault when she gets a glimpse into a different plane of existence - one that is more wild, physical, animal. Unable to shake the experience, she moves away from home, breaks up with her long-term boyfriend, stops speaking to her mother, and starts dating a dynamic man with a terrifying violent streak. As she changes cities, friends, and partners, an otherworldly existential force thrums in the back of her mind. It urges her to reject the ordinary, but also reminds her that she is alone in the world. She feels it in the ocean while deep-sea diving, in the cold silences from her mother, in the unknowing gaze of the man she thought would be her soulmate. We follow Lucy over the course of a decade, witnessing moments of both horrific pain and quotidian happiness. The years pass by, bringing her to the edge of her twenties and back to an altered, barren version of her childhood home, where she must finally come to terms with the fear that being human might mean feeling alone, and wild, and unknowable.
