ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

"Once There Were Wolves" by Charlotte McConaghy follows Inti Flynn, a biologist leading a wolf reintroduction program in the Scottish Highlands. The story explores the complex interactions between humans and nature, and delves into themes of identity and belonging. Inti grapples with her past traumas and ethical dilemmas as she works to protect the wolves amidst community resistance and fear. The narrative also explores the nature of violence, both human and animal, as Inti navigates the complexities of conservation while confronting her own capacity for rage. The rewilding project becomes a setting for exploring human relationships, and the difficult choices that people have to make when faced with conflict and loss.
