When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide
Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found.
As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.

Decent book-
This was a decently good read, so if your looking for a book to keep you occupied I recommend. I finished it in 4 days, the only thing I have to say is that there are so many different characters with side stories that go absolutely nowhere. The unnecessary dialogues left me feeling confused when I finished the book, usually when there are a lot of different characters I keep track pretty well- not with this one tho. If there was more “body” so to speak to the multiple different narratives/story lines of 10 plus characters I would be able to track what’s happening to who or what, altogether it would make more sense. A book that succeeds at that is What Was Mine by Helen Klein Ross which I highly recommend. It seemed the author tried to write chapters similar to how Ross did due to the chapter’s spotlighting characters and their background, but inevitably didn’t work as fluently(seemed to just be blended together) also was anticipating more of the Van Laars “family secrets”, I don’t mean to shout out spoilers but I can definitely say it left me thinking, “oh that’s it?”- so definitely predictable on that aspect.Never the less I enjoyed reading this book, so don’t let my opinions ruin the book for you lol. Hopeful there will be a sequel released that ties up the loose ends left by the author.

2025年1月9日在美国发布评论This is the story of two intertwined families & the tragedy that changed them all. The VanLaars, rich & respected & the Hewitts, originally almost kin but estranged by the lure of power & wealth. When young 'Bear' VanLaar, beloved by all, goes missing in the wilds of the Adirondacks, it sets off a long & troubling story of losses, lies & absences. As a young female investigator tries to puzzle out the second missing child,14 years later, we are led through a labyrinth of mysteries as dense & eternal as the forests themselves. This is a beautifully written & intriguingly plotted tale of human love, weakness, justifications & resolves. It's a mesmerizing read that pulls you in & keeps you hooked. I rarely give 5 stars but I'd give this 8 if I could.

2024年7月8日在美国发布评论Just like the battle cry of Pan: The Greek God of the Woods.
Situated in the Adirondack Mountains is the Van Laar Preserve. Atop its ridge is the Van Laar’s colossal summer home, named Self-Reliance. Far below, is the camp they own, Camp Emerson, which is open to campers eight weeks of the year (June to August).
July 1961: 8-year-old, Peter “Bear” Van Laar the fourth (the only child of Peter the third and his wife Alice) vanishes without a trace while hiking with his grandfather (Peter II) in the Adirondacks near the family home Self-Reliance. Following an extensive search no trace of him is ever found.
August 1975: The girls in Balsam cabin, Camp Emerson, awaken to find 13-year-old Barbara’s bunk bed empty. Barbara’s surname is also Van Laar – she’s Bear’s younger sister, born after his disappearance, to replace the void he left.
Is the Van Laar line cursed? Surely it can’t be a coincidence that they’re two children from the same privileged family! Or are they simply two separate unrelated tragedies? What happened to Bear, and then Barbara?
If I could rate The God of the Woods 14 stars (for the 14 cabins of Camp Emerson) then I absolutely positivity would, but I guess 5 stars is enough to convey just how immersive, momentous, and affecting it was. A flawlessly written epic masterpiece of literary suspense fiction, and deep dive character study. There were twists that left me reeling over how shockingly clever they were, and Liz Moore’s use of misdirection and carefully concealed clues were meticulously placed. Every once and a while there is a book that comes along that is so special that I find myself taking much longer than normal to read it, inhaling every word, and taking frequent breaks to reflect on the plot, and characters, to prolong the experience, and The God of the Woods was one such example.
The story contained many gothic elements which increased my sense of unease and claustrophobia tenfold. A prickling sensation at the back of my neck permeated the novel from the very first page. First up, was the secluded setting, far enough away from the nearest town of Shattuck to be isolating, surrounded by endless wilderness and the looming Hunt Mountain, with Lake Joan cutting them off even further. Then there were the dilapidated log cabins, once used for hunting parties, complete with unused fireplaces, whose chimneys were occasionally inhabited by bats. Not to mention the origins of Self-Reliance – there was something off-putting and out-of-place about it previously being a Chalet in Switzerland, transported by ship to New York piece-by-piece and then reassembled on the Van Laar Preserve. As expected, there were numerous campfire style legends circulating – whispered stories warning of Slitter, of Scary Mary, and Old John. And last but not least, the plot was built around not one, but two disturbing enthralling mysteries.
Those who know me are aware that I love a summer camp setting and this novel contained everything I wanted in one – new friendships, secretive and untrustworthy behaviour, counsellors and campers sneaking around after dark, campfires, sing-a-longs, swimming, hiking, a camper survival trip in the woods, and an end of summer dance. The vivid and intricate descriptions of the campgrounds really brought Camp Emerson to life. There was also a handy map included at the front of the book, showing the layout of the grounds and buildings.
And I was thrilled that the author chose to set the camp story arc in the 70's – I adored the nostalgic trip, the slang, and pop culture references. The 1950’s/1960’s timelines were equally compelling. Instead of Camp Emerson, that plot focused on Self-Reliance and Peter and Alice's marriage within its walls, and of course, Bear's disappearance, and what lead up to it, and the fallout resulting from it.
The majority of the POV’s were pre-teen/teenage girls and twenty-something women (with the exception of Alice in 1975. She was 41 by this stage), and most of them were damaged or broken (and given what they'd been dealt in life I'm not surprised), beaten down and trapped by their circumstances. Back then women were considered inferior – utterly dependent on the men in their lives to make decisions for them regarding how to look, act, and behave. And a lot of the male characters in this book took advantage of this – were dismissive, controlling and abusive. Not only that when female characters were abused by men, they saw it as their failure, and thought it was them who needed to change, who needed to be more compliant. And those who did take a stand were belittled, mocked, and shunned, by both men and women, for not conforming to the norm.
Class, prejudice, injustice, and resentment was another prominent theme. With the Van Laar family and their rich, entitled friends on one side, and the locals from Shattuck (including camp staff, counsellors, household staff, and caretakers) on the other. Self-Reliance, sat high on the hill, on prominent display, lording it over everyone, literally and figuratively, looking down on people. Even its name, Self-Reliance, was an exclusion, a slap in the face for the townspeople, implying that the Van Laar’s had build it themselves with no assistance, when it had been the entire eligible male population of Shattuck who had done so, with no help from the Van Laar’s. And even the fact that the camp staff quarters were situated way down lake from Self-Reliance in the farthest south corner possible, placed in the half of the camp separated by a creek, spoke volumes.
The God of the Woods was in my opinion a smash-hit and I strongly urge everyone to read it and experience the magic for themselves. My top read for 2024 so far. Actually, top read full stop.

2025年1月1日在美国发布评论This was a good multi-generational story about a rich family. Because of the multigenerational storylines, it does jump back and forth in the timeline a lot. But they mark the jumps with years to help you know where the story is in time. The characters are complex and well developed. But because it’s a mystery and there are sooooo many characters, I did struggle keeping track of who was who and how they were interconnected. Because of this, I made the character list below. I’m including it here in the review in case it helps others. Don’t worry. No spoilers here:

5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 Ótima história, bons personagens.
Este livro foi uma surpresa bem agradável. Não conhecia a escritora, mas resolvi tentar pq o livro foi considerado um dos melhores do ano pelo NYTimes.
A história é muito boa, a narrativa é feita indo e vindo entre presente e passado, o q, a princípio, pode parecer ruim, mas não é, pois ajuda a manter o suspense. Os personagens são bem construídos e se mantem interessantes até o final.

5.0 颗星,最多 5 颗星 Fantastically well written mystery!
I flew through this book, I simply couldn't put it down! As someone who has worked at summer camps and knows the Adirondacks well, I really enjoyed the relatability of the book. The twists were fantastic and overall a great plot which didn't have boring 100% good characters Vs 100% bad character, everyone was morally questionable and complex.
The Van Laars reminded me a lot of the family that had previously owned Fort Ticonderoga in the Adirondacks, employing a lot of locals, building holiday homes on site for friends and family, holding lavish parties etc. I wonder if this was the inspiration for the characters? Either way, fantastic book, highly recommend!
