The Wild Beneath by Kelly Anderson

The Wild Beneath is the debut novel from Canadian writer Kelly Anderson, and a Reese's Book Club pick. It is a love story with something stranger running underneath it.

Annie MacLeod grew up on a boat in the Pacific Northwest, in step with the ocean. When a tsunami takes her parents, she is left stranded on land and grieving, holding on to her love for Evan, her childhood sweetheart. In the wreckage she pulls a wordless man from the water, a stranger named Walker who gives off a hum only she can hear. Years later, when that sound comes back, Annie has to choose between the steady life she has built and something older and harder to explain.

Literary fiction with a thread of magic, about soulmates, grief and our place in the natural world. For readers of Charlotte McConaghy's Wild Dark Shore and Delia Owens' Where the Crawdads Sing.

'Ethereal, languid, crafted of language that rushes and recedes like a tide.' Jodi Picoult
