Out of the Woods

Nature, Sexuality, and Faith in the Forest

Luke Turner,

About this book

"Out of the Woods is a brave and beautiful book, electrifying on sex and nature, religion and love. No one is writing quite like this."— Olivia Lang, author of The Lonely City

In this highly original work of nature writing and memoir, a young man explores his shifting sexual identity and troubled family history against the backdrop of a sprawling urban forest in London.

In the wake of a significant breakup, Luke Turner is visited by familiar demons, including depression and guilt surrounding his bisexual identity, experiences of sexual abuse, and confusion brought on by an intensely religious upbringing.

With nowhere to turn, Turner seeks refuge in London's Epping Forest, where unexpected, elusive threats seem to have replaced its former comforts. No stranger to compulsion, Turner finds himself repeatedly drawn to the woods, eager to uncover its secrets and investigate an old family rumor of illicit behavior that once happened there. Away from a society that still cannot cope with the complexities of masculinity and sexuality, Turner finally begins to find acceptance among the trees as he reconciles external expectations with his own way of being.
