The sensational new novel from the author of The History of Bees
Translated into 36 languages, winner of the Norwegian Bookseller's
Prize, and the most successful Norwegian author of her generation,
Maja Lunde returns with a heart-wrenching tale, set in the distant
past and the dystopian future, about extinction and survival,
family and hope. Mikhail lives in Russia in 1881. When a skeleton
of a rare wild horse is brought to him, the zoologist plans an
expedition to Mongolia to find the fabled Przewalski horse, a
journey that tests not only his physicality, but his heart. In
1992, Karin, alongside her troubled son Mathias and several
Przewalski horses, travels to Mongolia to re-introduce the
magnificent horses to their native land. The veterinarian has
dedicated her life to saving the breed from extinction,
prioritizing the wild horses, even over her own son. Europe's
future is uncertain in 2064, but Eva is willing to sacrifice nearly
everything to hold onto her family's farm. Her teenage daughter
implores Eva to leave the farm and Norway, but a pregnant wild mare
Eva is tending is about to foal. Then, a young woman named Louise
unexpectedly arrives on the farm, with mysterious intentions that
will either bring them all together, or devastate them one by one.
Spanning continents and centuries, The Last Wild Horses is a
powerful tale of survival and connection-of humans, animals, and
the indestructible bonds that unite us all. Translated from the
Norwegian by Diane Oatley
