The Wilderness of Girls

While working in a nature reserve, Rhi stumbles upon a pack of wolves guarding four ‘wild’ girls, one of whom is injured. They explain they’re lost princesses raised by a dead man called Mother. Shocked, Rhi takes them to hospital, all the while plagued by memories of her own family trauma.

Surely, the girls have been abducted – misled – abused? And yet Rhi can see a special bond that blurs fantasy and reality. As the media circus around them grows, Rhi and the girls must confront the demons of the past to decide on their future.

The Wilderness of Girls by Madeline Claire Franklin is a gripping narrative that challenges the boundaries between myth and reality, demanding a reevaluation of what we perceive as truth and deception.
