A group of old friends undertake a multi-day hike in the magnificent, but remote Tsitsikamma mountains in South Africa. At the last minute, one of them cannot make it and her twenty-year-old anorexic daughter takes her place. Things go wrong when the self-appointed leader ignores weather warnings. The group is separated and, when flooding occurs and they are cut off from the primary route, relationships, survival skills and the truth are put to the test.
Juxtaposing physical and psychological suspense, The Wilderness Between Us is about the wiles, wonders and perils of hiking. It’s about listening to yourself and others, and to what’s around you. It’s about relationships and human behaviour – good, bad and questionable – and most importantly it’s about compassion.
A vivid, moving story about family, friendship and adventure, it also explores the healing power of nature and expounds the author's love for animals and the outdoors.”
