Feel free to answer as few or as many of the discussion questions as you’d like. So without further ado, let’s jump right into the discussion questions! Cheryl captures the slow landscape shift hiking offers in just the right amount of detail ( in a way that lets you picture the beauty of her adventure despite all the rough bits). In a lot of ways, this book is about Cheryl determining her relationship with grief.īut it’s also an amazing travel memoir with rich descriptions of her surroundings. I think grief became Cheryl’s home and enemy and everything in between. It was an all-consuming power that Strayed constantly grappled with after her mother’s death. But after rereading Strayed’s words, I felt like grief was so much more than a driving force in her thru-hiking journey. When I picked Wild for this book club meeting, I described it as a grief-driven novel. When I read the book for the first time several years ago, I carved out a space in my heart for the bravery laced within this title but I think, as time passed, the pain of Strayed’s journey – the raw, visceral, should-I-keep-reading-this pain – is one that slipped my mind.
