"I think he must be a good man. But nobody is only one thing."

Inti and her team have released wolves back into Scotland in an attempt to rewild it and mitigate some of the damages that go hand in hand with climate change. The locals are not pleased. 

Eventually we are treated to a murder mystery in an isolated rural area, where everyone knows each other's secrets and outsiders may not be much more welcome than the new predators threatening the livestock. In the midst of all this are Inti and her twin sister, their own history and the damages it wrought, and the wild that can still be found inside some people as well as in the forest. 

Very emotional at times, with a romance that was pretty flat, but an engaging story and some intriguing characters. And wolves, which is always a bonus.

i was totally blindsided by this book. I'm literally typing this through tears. a beautifully written story about destruction, violence, trauma, & death, & all the wildly human ways we heal from them.
