In a quaint tourist village, Dorn makes miniature scale models
displayed in the local shops. Yet life is far from idyllic; he
suffers under the thumb of a rich, philandering younger brother and
an unloving, pudding-obsessed father. Nor can he find the courage
to admit his love to Ravenna, the tall and ungainly school teacher
who was once the village's only Olympics hope. Life takes a strange
turn when the government-sponsored "Wild Home Project" begins in
the village. Dorn's neighbour now lives with a wolf. Others are in
company with rats, minks, otters, and bears. Soon, Dorn receives a
mysterious commission, finds a body in a park, and has several
run-ins with a former classmate-turned police officer. When fire
breaks out, Dorn takes on the unlikely role of hero in the hope of
changing the course of his life. A realist novel with the air of a
fairy tale, this surprising, funny and thought-provoking story from
beloved author Cary Fagan explores the nature of relationships
faunal and human, reminds us of the challenges of finding one's
place in society... and that living with a wolf is not a very good
idea.
