This is an encore presentation.
In Erica Ferencik’s hypnotic, violent, and unsparing thriller -- named by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Summer 2019’s Best Thrillers -- a young woman leaves behind everything she knows to take on the Bolivian jungle, but her excursion abroad quickly turns into a fight for her life.
To survive, Lily must navigate the jungle — its wonders as well as its terrors — using only her wits and resilience. Primal, gripping, and often terrifying, Into the Jungle features Erica Ferencik’s signature “visceral, white-knuckle” prose.
