‘Anderson’s book is ethereal, languid, crafted of language that rushes and recedes like a tide, buoying a story that reminds us sometimes the impossible is possible.’ * Jodi Picoult * ‘An entrancing, magical novel that highlights the beauty of the natural world and our fragile place within it. Spellbinding!’ * Nita Prose, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Maid series * ‘In The Wild Beneath, debut author Kelly Anderson elegantly blurs the line between nature and humanity, illuminating the deep, unseen currents that connect us—to each other and to the natural world. Readers won’t so much read this novel as feel it. I’ll never look at the ocean the same way again. Absolutely dazzling.’ * Sarah Penner, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Lost Apothecary * 'An incandescent debut...reminds us of the beauty and mystery of being alive.’ * Emma Knight, New York Times bestselling author of The Life Cycle of the Common Octopus * 'The Wild Beneath is a song of a book, haunting and beautiful and strange, rich and lingering. It drew me in like the pull of the sea.’ * Emma Hooper, internationally bestselling author of Etta and Otto and Russell and James *
