A fierce, poignant and highly original memoir about sexuality, shame and the lure of the trees

At a crossroads in his life, the demons Luke Turner has been battling since childhood are quick to return - depression and guilt surrounding his identity as a bisexual man, experiences of sexual abuse, and the religious upbringing that was the cause of so much confusion.

It is among the trees of London's Epping Forest where he seeks refuge. Away from a society that struggles to cope with the complexities of masculinity and sexuality, Luke begins to accept the duality that has provoked so much unrest in his life - and reconcile the expectations of others with his own way of being.

"This is a book to get lost in...A disturbing trauma narrative, it's also a work of delightfully low, pants-dropping comedy, and a learned meditation"
Guardian

"Turns the nature memoir genre upon its head...Out of the Woods is a book full of poetry and pathos. More than anything it is a bold and beautiful study of how to be a true modern man"
Spectator

"Truly beautiful prose...the candour and insightful scholarship Turner brings to his subject make it a very worth-while read"
Literary Review
