From the award-winning author of Burntcoat and The Electric Michelangelo, one of the most decorated young British writers working today, comes a literary masterpiece: a breathtaking work that beautifully and provocatively surveys the frontiers of the human spirit and our animal drives.For almost a decade, zoologist Rachel Caine has lived a solitary existence far from her estranged family in England, monitoring wolves in a remote section of Idaho as part of a wildlife recovery program. But a surprising phone call takes her back to the peat and wet light of the Lake District where she grew up. The eccentric Earl of Annerdale has a controversial scheme to reintroduce the Grey Wolf to the English countryside, and he wants Rachel to spearhead the project. Though shes skeptical, the earls lands are close to the village where she grew up, and where her aging mother now lives.While the earls plan harks back to an ancient idyll of untamed British wilderness, Rachel must contend with modern-day realitieshealth and safety issues, public anger and fear, cynical political interests. But the return of the Grey unexpectedly sparks her own regeneration.Exploring the fundamental nature of wilderness and wildness, The Wolf Border illuminates both our animal nature and humanity: sex, love, conflict, and the desire to find answers to the question of our existencethe emotions, desires, and needs that rule our lives.
