Peggy does not ever "unwittingly begin to unravel the series of events that brought her to the woods." I don't even know why that is the description of this book as that does not happen so what is on the fly-leaf is completely misleading. There is no real story until Peggy returns home and even then it just goes nowhere until the final page. There are descriptions of the sky and the trees and the ground over and over and yet, there is no character development. You'll get the whole idea of the story, what's it really about and I don't know how all these reviews call it beautiful and luminous because it is anything but that, in my opinion. And really, endless, is a perfect title because it is endless with nothing happening until those final few pages. Had their been the smallest hint that this was the story, I would have avoided it. Things like this are on the news and survivors write books about it and with deepest sympathy for what they've endured, I don't want to read it. I would NEVER knowingly choose to read that and I felt insulted by the author that she sprang that on readers in the final pages of her book so, personally, I was outraged that this was the story she was telling instead of what the flyleaf said.

Or maybe he was raping her all along since he forced her to sleep in the same bed as himself. If you want to know the actual what the heck this book is about, read about the last five pages and you'll spare yourself hours and hours of boredom, unless you like books about a crazed father stealing his young daughter to live in a shack in the mountains, almost starving and if you want to know the rest, I'll tell you What bothered me most and why I reviewed this as I did is that I would NEVER pick up a book about a man who kidnaps his child, spend years grooming her and rapes her. What most irritates me, what I find so off-putting(beyond all of the mind-numbing lack of a plot) is that the story is only finally going somewhere when it ends.

I regret that I can't unread this disgusting garbage.
