Back in Idaho, Rachel faces a new and life-changing dilemma, when a message arrives from home in Cumbria. Read by Hattie Morahan.
Back in Idaho, Rachel faces a new and life-changing dilemma, which a message from home might help to resolve.
Sarah Hall's novel is a compelling story about personal and political borders, about power, land, family and love. At its heart is Rachel Caine, tough, untouchable, an expert on wolves, and long estranged from her home county of Cumbria and her fiery mother and lost brother. Like the wolves she protects and champions, she is wary of humanity and happiest in the untamed wilderness.
Set against the dramatic and artfully drawn backdrops of the Lakeland fells and the towering ranges of Idaho, The Wolf Border explores issues of ownership and vested power, of re-wilding and of family as Rachel discovers that choice and change are possible.
