Wild Ground by Emily Usher
Wild Ground by Emily Usher is a deeply emotional and elegantly written debut novel about grief, love, memory, and the landscapes we inhabit both physically and emotionally. After a life-changing loss, the protagonist retreats to a windswept coastal village, seeking solitude and healing. But when a mysterious stranger arrives, buried emotions and long-held secrets begin to resurface, forcing a confrontation with the past.
Set against the haunting beauty of rural England, Wild Ground is a lyrical exploration of what it means to rebuild a life in the face of loss and how wild places can bring us home to ourselves.
