 />A vividly realized story of trauma and the attempted &ldquo\;rewilding&r
 dquo\; of the Scottish Highlands. Empathetic biologist Inti Flynn\, raised
  in part in Sydney\, Australia\, and in part in the woods of British Colum
 bia\, is on a project site in Scotland with a group of biologists\, where 
 she works to introduce North American wolves into the Scottish ecosystem. 
 She has brought her mute identical twin sister\, Aggie\; Inti knows the so
 urce of Aggie&rsquo\;s trauma\, but the details are kept from the reader u
 ntil late in the narrative. When Inti discovers the body of a man she susp
 ects was abusive to his wife (he said she fell off of a horse\; she looked
  like she was beaten up)\, and who might have been killed either by a wolf
  or another person\, she impulsively buries the body and sets out to solve
  the mystery of the death\, a process complicated by her sexual relationsh
 ip with the local police chief\, as they have a hard time trusting each ot
 her\, and by an unexpected pregnancy. In a story full of subtle surprises\
 , revolving around Aggie&rsquo\;s painful past as well as the source of th
 e violence on the project site\, McConaghy brings precise descriptions to 
 the wolves &mdash\;&ldquo\;subtly powerful\, endlessly patient&rdquo\;&mda
 sh\;and to Inti&rsquo\;s borderline-feral way of existing in the world. Th
 e bleak landscape is gorgeously rendered and made tense by its human and a
 nimal inhabitants\, each capable of killing. Throughout\, McConaghy avoids
  melodrama by maintaining a cool matter-of-factness. This is a stunner.</p
 >\n<p style="text-align: justify\;">This is hybrid meeting\, we will be me
 eting in person\, but there is an option to join us virtually if you would
  like. Email mccref@slcolibrary.org for information.</p>\nhttps://slcls.li
