" At the Edge of the Woods is a rare novel: beautifully attuned to both the mysteries of the natural world and of human consciousness, at once cool and intense, suspenseful and surprising. Just when you think you know where Laura''s story is headed the forest path twists, uncovering a world resplendent with ghosts, secrets, and dangerously deep wells of feeling. Kathryn Bromwich is a thrilling new talent." --Laura van den Berg, author of I Hold a Wolf by the Ears and The Third Hotel "Heady and headlong, Bromwich''s deliciously witchy debut unspools with the force and confidence of a spell, conjuring an indelible portrayal of one woman''s quest for selfhood through solitude." --Hermione Hoby, author of Virtue and Neon in Daylight "Mysterious, assured, and deeply, quietly passionate, At the Edge of the Woods is a magnetic debut in love with nature and language in equal measure, eschewing traditional plot and narrative devices in favor of the fabulous on every level. Featuring the most mysterious and magnetic protagonist I''ve encountered in a long time, Bromwich infects the senses with dread and wicked insight from the first page to the last--this is a stunning experience not to be missed." --Maryse Meijer, author of The Seventh Mansion "I savored this wonderfully intense and enigmatic novel about a woman''s retreat into the wilderness. At the Edge of the Woods touches on issues of alienation, illness, womanhood, nature and community, in sensuous prose that delights and disturbs. An offbeat, beguiling debut." --Luiza Sauma, author of Flesh and Bone and Water "A rich and bewitching novel. Kathryn Bromwich has spun up a delicate world that interrogates the dark side of love, the wild power of nature, and the strength it takes to break free." --Sarah Rose Etter, author of The Book of X "A profound and disquieting portrait of isolation and existence at the borderlands: between cultures, past and present, civilization and wilderness. Through a delicate twining of deliberate, precise storytelling and rich, lyrical detail, Kathryn Bromwich has crafted a captivating and beguiling fable in reverse -- a story that feels like it''s existed forever, just waiting for her to write it down." --Simon Jacobs, author of Palaces and String Follow "Intense and hazy, At the Edge of the Woods is a feverishly captivating combination of nature writing and character study. As Laura becomes increasingly connected to the woods around her, the reader can''t help but to be drawn into her orbit, to see things the way that she does." --Mallory Melton, BookPeople (Austin, TX) "Elaborate details of the woods, and the quiet, overwhelming powers that both it and being a woman in a patriarchal social structures holds. Bromwich''s At the Edge of the Woods fits well in a stack with Ottessa Moshfegh''s Death in Her Hands , but it is also a beautiful, fresh addition to the feminist literary canon." --Tay, White Whale Bookstore (Pittsburgh, PA) "An engrossing tale that exposes how easily solitude can become isolation and the dangers therein, how the things we need can often be our ruin. A kissing cousin of Margaret Atwood''s Surfacing , Bromwich''s debut is confident, atmospheric, and mesmerizing." --Wesley Minter, Third Place Books (Seattle, WA) "Earthy, sensuous, and feminist. Through extraordinary nature writing, Bromwich addresses fertility, culture, class, illness, and community. Tense and witchy, this is a story of one woman who lives on her own terms. Glorious." --Beth Shapiro, Skylark Bookshop (Columbia, MO) Kathryn Bromwich is a writer and commissioning editor on The Observer newspaper in London.

Synopsis
Laura lives alone in a cabin deep within the Italian Alps, making her living translating medical documents and tutoring the children of affluent locals. She spends her days climbing the mountains outside her door and exploring the woods, and when she must venture into the small, conservative town for supplies, she's met with curious stares and wariness. Laura begins seeing a bartender, who alerts her to the villagers' uncertainties, and suggests she get a dog. Then late one night there is a knock on the door, and on the other side stands someone from her past who has finally found her. In beguiling, lyrical prose, the mystery surrounding why Laura has absconded to this remote corner of the Alps comes into focus, while the villagers grow leery of the woman in the cabin and of her increasingly odd behavior, and a few decide to take matters into their own hands; to free themselves from the malevolent forces of the strega who lives amongst them. With its dexterity and appreciation for the natural world, its slow-burn tension and thematic considerations of illness, infertility, and femininity, At the Edge of the Woods calls to mind the work of Richard Powers, Claire-Louise Bennett, and Shirley Jackson, while revealing Kathryn Bromwich as a spectacular and singular talent.
