INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - #1 AMAZON BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR SO FAR 2025
An ENTHRALLING new novel from the NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING author of Migrations and Once There Were Wolves
"A WILDLY TALENTED writer." ―Emily St. John Mandel
"SPELLBINDING...Exceptionally imagined, thoroughly humane." --Washington Post
"Abounds with EVOCATIVE nature writing." --The New York Times Book Review
A family on a remote island. A mysterious woman washed ashore. A rising storm on the horizon.
Praise for Wild Dark Shore
"At once a gripping mystery, an exquisitely written ode to the natural world, and a taut, psychological thriller, Wild Dark Shore is a triumph. Charlotte McConaghy is masterful in her ability to show the intricate connections between place and the human heart, and Wild Dark Shore shows her at the height of her powers. Breathtaking."
--Hannah Kent, international bestselling author of Burial Rites
Praise for Once There Were Wolves
