This is a book about wolves, but it's also a book about families. Rachel Caine is a British wolf expert, who has worked in America for 10 years. She returns to the UK, employed by an eccentric Earl, who has decided that he can re-introduce wolves to the Lake District. Rachel has to contend with public outrage to the plan, sabotage, the eccentric Earl, and her gradual reconciliation with her family. The blurb says it well: 'It is a novel steeped in wilderness and wildness, both animal and human.
It's a visceral read. The landscape is evoked superbly, the wolves observed extremely well, family conflict is described with rawness and compassion.
I recommend it.
