Some said it was tragic, what happened to the Van Laars.

Some said the family deserved it. That they never even thanked the searchers who stayed out for five nights in the freezing forest trying to help find their missing son.

Some said there was a reason it took the family so long to call for help. That they knew what happened to the boy.

Now, fifteen years later, the Van Laars' teenage daughter has gone missing in the same wilderness as her brother. Some say the two disappearances aren’t connected.

Some say they are.

Reviews for The God of the Woods

Praise for Liz Moore: ‘[Moore’s] careful balance of the hard-bitten with the heartfelt is what elevates Long Bright River from entertaining page-turner to a book that makes you want to call someone you love’ New York Times Book Review ‘Moore’s observations are informed and compassionate’ Guardian ‘This is a remarkable novel, elegant, wise, and beautifully constructed. I loved the book’ Roddy Doyle ‘In sparse, urgent prose, Liz Moore delivers a staggeringly beautiful meditation on love, legacy, and emotional necessities that make life worth living. That lump in your throat? You won't know quite how it got there–nor believe how long it will stick around once the final page is turned’ TÉA OBREHT, author of The Tiger’s Wife ‘A remarkable, profoundly moving novel about the ties that bind and the irrevocable wounds of childhood… I loved every page’ Dennis Lehane ‘Anyone with a mother, a father, a brother, or a sister – anyone with a heart, for that matter – will love this book, as I did’ Mary Beth Keane ‘A truly original voice’ The New Yorker
