So much happened in this book! It isn’t just an examination of reintroducing wolves to Scotland- it also explores family dynamics, local politics, mental illness, sisterly relationships,
domestic violence, child birth, trauma and murder.
I loved that part of the book because it was more like real life. Inti’s passion was wolves, but her life was shaped by so much more than that. Overall a great read - I do wish there was a little more information on reintroduction projects, but that’s likely because I need to do more research on this myself!
