When I read McConaghy's debut Migrations, I was bowled over at the evocative language, the way she made nature spring off the page and made me cry about Arctic Terns. So I kinda knew what I was going into with this second book, but it still got me right in the feels. 

Inti Flynn (what a name!) is in Scotland with her team in a effort to re-wild the country by re-introducing wolves. She faces major backlash from the mane farmers in the area, but she is also pressed on the home front, where her traumatised sister Aggie isn't leaving the house, nor speaking. When a man disappears, blame is directed towards the wolves Inti loves, and she is pushed to do things she probably shouldn't on order to protect them.

This story has it all: great characters who gets under your skin, tangled and complicated relationships, the most beautiful nature writing, and of course the wolves. For better and for worse. 

Definitely an auto-buy author for me!
