Hattie Morahan reads Sarah Hall's compelling new novel about power, love and family

Rachel builds bridges back on the Earl of Annerdale's estate, but she needs to make a fateful decision. Read by Hattie Morahan.

Now employed on the Earl of Annerdale's estate, it's time for Rachel to meet the staff, make up her team and reconnect with her brother. 

And she needs to make a fateful decision...
 
Sarah Hall's novel is a compelling story about political and personal 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, happy in the wilderness.
 
Set against the dramatic and perfectly evoked backdrop of the Lakeland fells, The Wolf Border explores issues of ownership and vested power, of re-wilding and of family as Rachel finds her way home.
