The Vaster Wilds by Lauren Groff

A phenomenal story about a young woman facing down survival in the early days of American colonialism as she reckons with God and seeks to understand her relevance on the planet.

"It will spread into this land and infect this land and devour the people who were here first; it will slaughter them, diminish them. The hunger inside of the god of my people can only be sated by domination. They will dominate until there is nothing left, then they will eat themselves."
