BBC Radio 4 - Book at Bedtime, Sarah Hall - The Wolf Border, Episode 8

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

Crisis and success, as Rachel's brother reaches rock bottom and there are births in the wolf pack. Read by Hattie Morahan.

Crisis and Success - Rachel's brother reaches rock bottom while the birth of the pups ensures the survival of the wolf pack.

Sarah Hall's novel is a compelling story about personal and political 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 human connections, happy in the untamed wilderness.

Set against the dramatic and artfully drawn backdrops of the Lakeland fells, The Wolf Border explores issues of ownership and vested power, of re-wilding and of family bonds as Rachel discovers that she can choose, and change.
